Mathew Brady is a great influence in the world of photojournalism. He was an older photojournalist that photographed during the civil war. It seems that Brady was motivated to tell the truth. He really wanted to show the truth to the people and he was the first to display his photos of the battlefield in New York. These photos were very hard for some people to see but I think Brady did it for a good reason. He stayed motivated just as the other photojournalists did. They were all involved in war photography which takes a lot of passion. He was determined because he had an eye condition that affected his vision. He really wanted to prove to himself and the public that his photos were great even with the condition that he suffered from. A lot of his work was done just for the great memories and experiences that he had the chance to pursue throughout his life. This was similar to what Professor Nordell said about how he feels about the motivation factor. He likes seeing his photos and Brady did too. He did great things that helped motivate other photojournalists and give them the chance to make a difference like Brady did.

My photojournalism map is very similar to what motivates the photojournalists I mentioned above. The world, love, success, happiness, and other people are things that motivate me. I am also self-motivated and my goals motivate me. Most of these things I listed are also things that these 3 photojournalists are motivated by. Stacy Pearsall is self-motivated and motivated by other people through her Veterans Portrait Project. I think that Tim Hetherington really showed his passion through others and love for his work. Many of these things that motivate both the photojournalists and I probably motivate other people as well.
