and there goes...

the congo trip. Thanks to MONUC and the brilliant planning and timing of the UN World Food Program I'm stuck again for another 5 days in beautiful Kampala. Sometimes you need a lot of restrain and inhuman amount of patience when working as a journalist.

What do photojournalists need?

While working as a professional photojournalist on the african continent for three years now, I always asked myself the question: what needs a photojournalist ? These days we are all stuffed with tons of equipment, huge camera bodies and big, bulky lenses. Sure, it gives you a kick for you ego, you feel all important and you get treated professionally. But on the other hand, that is not why I started photojournalism. A photojournalist is best if he is invisible. Sometimes a tough job if your skin color already sticks out in Africa in a radius of several miles.

Inspired by likes of Alex Majoli I bought myself a smaller cam. A Canon G11. No that I want to do some advertising for this tool, but I'm rather interested to see if can move in the end from my bulky DSLR gear to a humble advanced point and shoot setup, and still be able to work as a photojournalist in a professional environment.
