War Photography

The life of a war photographer is very emotional because he has to witness things first hand and he puts himself in danger. There was a part in the movie where someone threw a gas bomb and it went off right next to him and it was hard for him to breathe. But I think it's a good j0b for him because he helps get the people's stories out to the world and we can all see what's happening in places that aren't well known. I think the relationship he has with his objects is a close relationship because the people that he's taking pictures of could yell at him or tell him to leave but they don't. They let him do his job. But at the same time, their relationship is distant because if he got too close to the people then it would be even more emotional to take pictures of them because he got to know them.
