A photographic imagination

Mindy McAdams reports on an interview with Rob Finch of A photo a day and she quotes him:

There are two specific camps of people in our still picture world. There are people who love photography and there are people who love to tell stories. People who love photography only for the act of photography might have some trouble in the future assuming they want to work at a media outlet.

I think that photography by its own nature is very "elastic" in practice. For image driven news media that elastcity is an opportunity to diversify the use of photography. The challenge is being very transparent about what is illustrative and what is documentary.
