Topic 1: Photo Orgies
- So many photographers were showing up to photograph Yosemite’s famous Horsetails Falls when it was lit up that park officials had to close areas to prevent them from being overwhelmed with people and trash.
- What are our thoughts on this story, is Yosemite making the right choice, or being overbearing?
- What are your thoughts on area that are over photographed and why does everyone need to have their own identical photo of the same thing? Would you jump in with the masses to get your shot or find somewhere or something else to shoot?
Topic 2: Should Journalism Be Publicly Funded?

- What would this look like for visual journalists?
- Do you think this would be a good idea or a bad idea, why or why not?
