Odiaba la soledad; 

pero salía corriendo 

cuando alguien se acercaba,

por miedo a no saber querer. 

PHOTOJOURNALISM

"Without photographies, photojournalism would be only it, journalism."

I am studying the second year of journalism and media and I love taking photos. So I am going to tell you a little bit about photojournalism.

Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism that creates images in order to tell a real story.

The most important features of photojournalism are:

• Timeliness: to have meaning in the context of a recently event
• Objectivity: the photography is a representation of the real event
• Narrative: it should be understandable

Now I am going to show you the more popular historical photographs.

Here we can see eleven workers having lunch in a 69th floor of a skyscraper under construction in New york in 1932.
The photo was taken by Charles Ebbets.

Alfred Eisenstaedt took this photo in 1945 in time Square, where a lot of people were celebrating the Day of Victory over Japan.
Shain was working as a nurse in New York when she listened on the radio that World War II had ended and went to Time Square. There, a sailor kissed her. She said that she let the man kissed her because during the war, he was fighting for her.

This photograph was taken in the 72nd birthday of Albert Einstein.
That day he smiled for photographers many times, so he decided to stick out his tongue instead.

Kevin Carter took this photograph in 1993 in Sudan, in the North-West of Africa.
The following year, he won the Pulitzer Price with this picture. But he wasn't pround of it. He said he was still sorry for not helping that girl.
Two months later, he ended his life.

''Afghan girl'' is a photograph taken in 1983 by Steve McCurry.
The identity oh that girl were unknown for at least 15 years until McCurry and the Nathional Geographic crew located her in 2002. She is Sharbat Gula.

Huynh Cong ''Nick'' took this photograph in 1972 during the Vietnam War.
The girl appears is Kim Phuc, who now works in the Kim Phuc Organitation helping victim war children.

This photograph was taken on 11th September in 2001, in United Estates, by Richard Drew during the attack on the Twin Towers.
We can see a man falling from one of these towers.

At least three photographers took this picture about an unknown man standing in front of four tanks during the 1989 People's Pepublic of China.

Mike Wells took this photograph in 1980 in Karamoja, Uganda.
A child dies of hunger and a missionary takes his hand.

Martin Luther King made his famous speech ''I have a dream'' in 1963, in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.

In this famous picture we can see an east german soldier helping a child to cross the new Berlin Wall to go with his family in 1961.

Here we can see two friends helping a soldier to kiss his girlfriend outside the train in 1950 in California.

This photograph was considered as the most important war picture ever.
It was taken on Mont Suribachi during the World War II.
We see some soldiers from the USA and one Navy doctor raising their flag in 1945.

A legend says that a monster lives in the Lonch Ness and no one can see it.
This is the first picture in which this animal seems appear.
It's name is Nessie and this photograph was taken by Ian Wetherell in 1934.

This photograph went round the world.
Omaira Sánchufe was a 13-years-old colombian girl, victim of the Nevado del Ruiz Volcano in Armero, Colombia.
After three days of being stuck in the mud, her only solution was to die because there was no way to help her to go out.

Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin Aldrin were the first men to walk on the Moon in 1969.
But many people don't believe in this and think it's all a lie of America.

There are many historical important photographies, I have gathered those that I believe are the most important. But the photojournalism includes much more.

Inconformismo emocional

¿El ser humano como ser racional? Sin duda, ¿no?

Somos esa clase de animales que se conforman con poquita cosa, que no piden más, y que siempre están calmados, como el agua de una bañera vacía.

Esa clase de seres que cuando llega el invierno, lo aprovechan tal y como pensaban en verano, sin soñar de nuevo otra vez con esa cálida época. Que cuando alcanzan la carrera o el trabajo deseado, jamás se quejan.

Esa sociedad en la que no cabe un ''ojalá estuviese...'' o incluso un ''ojalá fuese...''.

Aunque lo mismo pasa con el amor, para qué engañarnos.
El hombre tiene claro lo que quiere. Aunque hay diferentes opiniones. Y me refiero a opiniones como preferencias, no al sentido de la frase, no. Somos muy claros.
Algunos viven al lado de otra persona, aferrándose a ella, como si, por el contrario, fuesen a morir. Sin que un ''joder, tío, soltero se vive mejor, te vas con quien quieras'' pase por su cabeza.
Por otro lado, también hay personas que opinan lo mismo, pero no. Son esas personas que están a gusto con lo que tienen, o con lo que no tienen. Sin echar de menos el sentir que una persona les ama, que la tendrían al lado para lo que fuese, siempre.

Pero como ya llevo diciendo un rato, y sigo haciendo hincapié, lo tenemos todo tan estructurado y tan claro, que ¿para qué quejarnos?

¿Dónde se ha visto que el moreno quiera ser rubio, el alto, bajo; y el débil, rebelde?
¿Y eso de que el hombre quiere volver a ser niño, mientras el niño deseas crecer con todas sus fuerzas?

''Se conoce sus lágrimas de memoria''

No hace falta ser un genio para darse cuenta de que ya no es feliz.

O, al menos, no tanto como hace escaso tiempo.

Que sus ojos brillan. Demasiado.

Y no es la ilusión la culpable.

Aguanta. Resiste.

Evita pestañear, porque sabe, que si lo hace, 

una lágrima va a caer.

Y después otra. Y otra.

Se conoce sus lágrimas de memoria.

No quiere que la gente perciba ese olor transparente y salado.

Por ello, esquiva el contacto visual. O, al menos, lo intenta.

Aunque tiene claro una cosa. 

Por mucho que le vean llorar, nadie moverá un dedo por ayudar.

No todos los por qués exigen respuesta.

¿Por qué reiterar los recuerdos del pasado si es solo eso, pasado?
¿Por qué volver a llorar por cosas que no hiciste, o hiciste mal; si a lo hecho, pecho?
¿Por qué llorar por las lágrimas ya caídas, y no sonreir por las sonrisas perdidas?
¿Por qué seguir al orgullo y la cabezonería que no te deja avanzar?
¿Por qué insistir en caer bien y no ser uno mismo?
¿Por qué y para qué existe el miedo?

¿Por qué existen las preguntas sin respuesta?
