Descripción: By Christopher Morris. 2001.

«The essence of American photojournalism, as it is taught in American universities and academies like The International Center of Photography in New York, has its basics in photography as "historical testimony." In this view, the picture of an event, of a social change, a historical or casual step of our becoming, is meant to witness and forge our visual imaginary of history. For this reason it is loaded with an ethical responsibility often difficult to bear and to manage by those who chose to be "photographers concerned in delivering history." This is the reason why only few "war photographers" manage to fulfill this utopia in their career.»
