JCU's Introduction to Photojournalism Explores Different Worlds on Rome's Streets
A photo by Professor Donald Winslow
According to Professor Donald Winslow, “Rome is one of the most photogenic and amazing places in the world, the perfect location to teach photojournalism. John Cabot’s students are challenged here to go beyond the classic beauty of the ancient city to see the people and events of Rome as documentary photojournalists, seeking to capture the significant moments of life which depict our cultural experiences. It is also a voyage of self-discovery for the students who are engaged in the process of becoming citizens of the world.”
This photo, which Professor Winslow took recently during an on location session of JRN 199 Introduction to Photojournalism, shows how different worlds meet on the streets of the Eternal City.
