Photojournalism

There are many type of ways to make art. From using a pencil or computer graphics to photography. This is one of my favorites because the artist can capture so much into a photo lence. Photojournalism has captured many famous controversial pictures that has impacted people throughout the world. In this post I have recently read the current news of Mexico. Learning the tragedy of my country has made pursue art even more. Below is recent 2 years news of teachers attack in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Over 4000 people were murdered in relation to drug violence in Mexico last year.

an unprovoked attack on striking teachers and their supporters in Oaxaca, Mexico. The strike has gone on for more than 5 months and the government has resorted to increasingly violent tactics. Multiply this one incident — a strike, a shooting, a disregard by the authorities for even the facade of justice — throughout the country and amplify it along the drug-trafficking lanes in the border cities and you begin to get grasp of the severity of the challenges Mexico faces.
