Dan, The Leica Oskar Barnack Award 2002 awards are for "reportage photography," which doesn't quite translate into photojournalism. Having spent a career in TV Photojournalism shooting fires, civil rights marches, press conferences and Black Panther stand-offs, what I now do I call Documentary Photography, though "Reportage" might be a closer definition. In sum, I think Brian just missed it when he said "You people will argue over anything." He should have said, "you people will argue with B.D. over anything."
