The Photo Essay
I completely agree when Chapnick said, "Almost every conceivable subject that deals with the human experience can serve as the basis for an essay."
We have to keep in mind that there are a lot of people in this world, and one thing that may seem unique to an individual can still bring a large group of people together. Everyone does something that maybe a bit odd, but if we keep in mind that everyone is a little odd then by revealing that truth it can bring people from all over the world together.
In the Lamott reading I do agree that when you pick a controvesial subject in a photo story you need to take a moral point of view, the lack of this could potentially leave the reading lost in between the two sides. It is possible to portray both sides, but it would take much more space. In a 90 sec story it is impossible to go into real depth.
