Ground Zero 9/11/2001

Taken by Thomas E. Franklin

I felt this picture perfectly illustrates what photojournalism, a picture taken of a significant event that can tell a story, even without knowing any sort of context. The photographer here seems to be trying to convey the message of "we are still standing (as in the people/ United States). You don't even have to know about the terror attacks to know this picture is about resilience.

The ideas I am trying to express are AI taking over the job of taking pictures in many different scenarios, some may say this is good due to the safety factor in potentially dangerous situations. Another risk with AI in photojournalism is the ability to deep fake and alter the appearance of a photo or video. I chose a collage because I felt I could best express my idea about this with a variety o...
