Oakview Football iPhone Photo

I watched a journalism student learn to photograph the football game today. He would ask a few questions and then walk away photographing moments the way he saw them. He would run around frantically trying to photograph what he could. At first he was trying to stand in the right place to photograph a touchdown, trying to make the photograph happen or hope that it would come. Then he started to learn that photographing what you want is not the goal. His job is to tell the story as it happened, not to make the story happen.
