Get the Picture

1. Robert Capa and Henri Cartier-Bresson

2. His most famous photos are the shots John took during D-Day. One particular interesting shot is John's picture of Robert Capa photographing the surrender of German soldiers.

3. The most challenging part of his job was staying safe in the war zone. Journalist had to get in and get out of the war zone without being killed. Ever since the Bosnian war, journalist have been targeted by armies trying to prevent the stories from getting out. 

4. I find it interesting in John G. Morris is he had the opportunities to work with so many famous photographers and be able to take all the tips that they taught him and put them into his own photos. He was also able to travel the world due to his renowned skills. He had the privilege to experience so many different jobs. He also took his job as a photographer as a way to expose people to how people around the world face the same issues and are similar in many ways. This just shows his character as a man who looks at photography as more than just a hobby but as a way to connect people around the world. 

5. Robert Capa and Henri Cartier-Bresson are both interesting because they are both like John by trying to spread awareness about humans around the world. They both wanted to show the world how the best in humans, even if they do take pictures of war. Similarly, they both disliked war but continued to document wars.
