Pete Souza is the Chief Official White House Photographer for President Obama; he is also the Director of the White House photo office. However these images were interesting, they weren't the collection that captured my attention.
After stumbling across his website i found out that this photojournalist had been on many worldwide adventures, one being a trip to Afganistan. This collection was the one that spoke a thousand words. He corectly and critical displayed the truth about life over there within our modern day society. Poverty, violence and destruction is part of the every day life to these people. He conveys such moving photography that it was hard not to be sucked in to wanting to see more.
I understand that my shoot of Newtown wont be so heart-breaking or moving but i do hope that i can pick up on the contrasting camera techniques that he visualises. So you can see the story he is telling visit his website. I think the photo's do there job. They speak a thousand words.
