Video: A Photojournalist Walks Away From His Profession

"I don't believe that photojournalism is a very important job. My pictures and the pictures of my colleagues, they don't really change anything...so let's not pretend like they do."

Video: What makes a photographer when everyone is taking pictures?

Ken Van Sickle says:  

If you were there when the Hindenburg caught on fire, and you took a picture of it, that’s a great photograph. But you’re not a great photographer, because you can’t repeat that in everyday things.  

What a great photographer does is, they are consistently able to make something in a style that’s personal to themselves. My pictures don’t depend on extreme sharpness. They depend on the composition and on the subject and on the way I see it.

"On the way I see it" seems to allow for anyone to produce anything and call him or herself a photographer. 

"Just the way I see it!"
