David Sniders Street Pictures

The quality photography work in David Snider’s online portfolio was highly impressive to me. When I look at many modern-day publications, it seems as if the photographers were just firing frames as quickly as possible, hoping to have a usable shot or two when all was said and done. It’s obvious, to me at least, that Snider’s photos are composed and taken at an exact time when some aspect can be captured in a visually appealing manner. As such, Snider’s photographs would likely elicit a response from readers as if he had frozen a moment in time just for their viewing pleasure. I believe it is true that every person has at least one story to tell and it is our jobs as journalists to tell them. These stories are told best when they can be captured, as Snider has managed to do, so that their subject appears to be alive, even on a two-dimensional page.
