Modern technology actually made that quite easy, which is why photojournalism is getting less popular. Remember that 20, 30 years ago every newspaper had its own photographer or even more. These days you mainly have freelancers and only bigger newspapers still have a small amount of them.

The thing is, while these photos are awesome, cameras in auto-mode - and even smartphones - can make pictures that are comparable (at least for the average eye). It has devalued photography quite a bit unfortunately. It sucks but it's the way it is.

Hey Matthew,

Nice to have you here and thank you for answering our questions. If you don't mind, let's talk gear: What system do you use and what lenses do you prefer (and which one do you actually end up using the most - might be different ones)? Are you staying classic with the big DSLRs? Are you stealthy with the small Fujis? Or somewhere in-between?

Greetings from a fellow journalist colleague:)

The QL 17 is a beautiful camera. You might also like the original Olympus Pen.

Any specific film camera you have your eyes on? I bought a few a while ago. I got a Canon A1 and my gramps AE1 Program, plus a few newer P&S and the ones my family used in the 90s (Canon EOS 500 and Nikon F-401 I think). I'd really love to get Rolleiflex or a Leica M3 sometime in the future.
