Young Photojournalist on the Scene in Minneapolis
August 2, 2007 2:54 PM
National Press Photographers Association has a nice feature about student photojournalist Andrew Worrall, the 19 year old freshman to be at the University of Missouri at Columbia's media convergence program, who shot some very compelling images of the Minneapolis bridge collapse yesterday. He was on his way to a Minnesota twins game when he heard about the collapse on the radio. He had some gear and his high school press pass with him and got into the thick of things.
A full day after the bridge first fell, Worrall was asked what he thinks about Wednesday's experience in retrospect. "It really pushes my ethics; it's definitely hard to shoot people suffering and tragedy in general. But I'm happy if I can make the world a better place by sharing my vision through my lens."
