THE ART OF POLITICAL PHOTOGRAPHY

  THE ART OF POLITICAL PHOTOGRAPHY -  By Bernard Bujold- For photographers Doug Mills (New York Times) and Evan Vucci (Associated Press) the event was supposed to be a simple political rally by Donald Trump. As fate would have it, it was a historic event as a gunman tried to kill ex-President Donald Trump.  The art of photography is to be at the right time, in the right place...  SEE THE REPORT FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES  https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/arts/design/trump-photo-raised-fist.html?unlocked_article_code=1.7U0.h0m9.G14xTj5O592A&smid=url-share   SEE REPORT FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES DOUG MILLS https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/13/us/politics/doug-mills-trump-photo.html?unlocked_article_code=1.7U0.w-B5.KluuzY_kho9M&smid=url-share SEE REPORT EVAN VUCCI  https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/15/trump-rally-shooting-photographer-evan-vucci-story   SEE REPORT CNN  https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2024/07/politics/photogr...
