Thanks for the post. With video, the photojournalism of still photography has become a lost art. Color can be so distracting. That picture gets to the heart of the matter and tells us so much. But the genius of that picture is that it expresses the misery of their circumstance, yet it captures both the dignity and humanity of the subjects, and in no way is it demeaning or degrading to the subjects.
