Sometimes as a photographer you are in the right place at the right time. You get a sense of history about a subject, something you know is news before you even snap the capture button. The quality of conveying a sense of history in a medium is its historicity, and many news and feature images have this quality.
I have actually been accused of being a better photographer than I am. The reason being is the feature on the camera that decides lens settings and ideal shot capture whenI press the button. I notcied something troubling when i repeatedly pressed the shutter switch and the jittering camera box action actually forced a blur result. This happened a few times before I realized this was a physical hardware issue.
