Photojurnalism the BEST feild of study for me

If you cant tell from the title I am planning on being a photojournalist when I get out of high school. I have always been a photojournalist sense I was small child. Photography and writing have been my passion for years and as you can tell still is to this day. It has recently come to my attention that a lot people don't even know what this is or what exactly they do. So I'm writing this as a way to explain what I love to do and hopefully someone else does to. Now I found an article at https://photographyicon.com/photojournalism/ that states "Photojournalism is the process of story telling using the medium of photography as your main story telling device. While a journalist will use their pen and paper to tell stories, a photojournalist will use their camera to capture the visual representation of a story". I think this is an amazing explanation and very broad considering it doesn't force a certain aspect of photojournalism. If your truly interested I suggest you read the article. Anyways back to what I love about this amazing career choice. I'm sure we have all herd that a photo is worth a thousand words and my job as a photojournalist is to make that motto an actual reality. I've always had a knack for story telling and for photography. And when combined properly a person with simply a camera and a message can change the hole meaning of something. Being able to take a single photo and have it explain its self is something magical and its something I have loved for all my life. Now being an artist of any form is very difficult witch I think is what makes it so special. It takes real dedication and years of failure to even produce one good image. Not to mention once you've gotten you technique down newspapers and publishers are willing to pay very good money for the perfect photo. This is why I'm going to go to collage for this perfection and hopefully find my niche. I huge inspiration for me would be Tim Hetherington. This is because he is not just a photographer or a journalist or a director. He is also a political activist and he is living my dream life. He is spreading a message and expanding the world with his amazing art from, and that what I want to do. Another personal favorite of mine is the photographer Ansel Adams. He was mainly known for his black and white photos, He was a landscape artist and an environmentalist. I love him mainly for his black and white aesthetic as well as his photos of the American West witch were all amazing works. Both of theses artist stood for something and even after they are gone they will always inspire me to continue my passion in the art of photojournalism.
