Photographers in Focus

In the spirit of "A Day in the Life," I came across a website called liveBooks.com. The series is called "Photographers in Focus," and they interview photographers from all over the spectrum: from art photography to serious photojournalism.

My favorite quote is from the newest interview with Colin Finlay. He's a photojournalist. I really like this (except for the sort of cheesy music in the beginning).

He talks about how people ask if it's hard for him to do what he does, to photograph people in abject poverty and suffering. It isn't hard, according to Finlay. He simply said: "It's not about me anymore. It's about the people I'm photographing."
