Hi Robert! First of all, thank you so much for doing this. I'm going to go ahead and ask what probably all the aspiring photojournalists in here are wanting to know, and that is how did you end up exactly where you are today?
Do you believe a degree in journalism is necessary and/or needed anymore? I know there is no cookie-cutter method to being a great photojournalist as yourself, but it's always interesting to hear how the sucessful ones got there personally! I'm a college film student with aspirations of shooting for a great news publication some day, and stories from the people who are already there are always an inspiration to me.
Also any thoughts on the HBO series "Witness" that follows war photographers like yourself?
