There are many lessons here, but the big one for photographers is, study filmmaking, even if you don't plan to shoot video. The lighting, the framing, the story...it's all there, and at a much higher and more developed level than any kind of photography class or books.

"Bored with local news"? For me, as a shooter for a decade with a small weekly in my 50s, it was the most satisfying jobs I have had in my life. I got to watch kids grow up, leave home, and come back home. I had the opportunity to really get to know my community and the first responders. Everything about being a small town photojournalist was challenging. In the end, the print industry died and I had to return to a previous career to pay the bills. But that time as a local photog was priceless.

Believe it or not, there was a time before the internet existed. Assuming you weren't returning with the film in person you asked someone you trusted to carry it back or even approached a member of a crew at an airport heading home. This was a simpler age and no one worried about being asked by a stranger to carry something onto an aircraft.

Joseph Thomas // He used his and her teachers power and authority to take pictures of her and traumatizing her in the process. In her culture especially at the time women weren't supposed to be in the same room as a man that is not family or some other authority figure, they can't remove their burkas, they can't look someone directly in the eyes and he selfishly violated all of that without considering her feelings or respecting her beliefs. He then used her likeness to gain money and fame without ever informing her or sharing the wealth he made off her photo. He also lied about her in the article he wrote where she's only mentioned twice. It was traumatizing for her then National Geographic did it to her again using the same photographer. She also believes (and is probably right) that the photo he took is the reason she was taken from her safe home that she loved and was brought back to the war torn country she was born in and flaunted like a show pony. She's been very vocal about the whole thing and how much she hated him. She was 10 in the original photo. He did not ask for permission from her father or anyone else to take the photo.
