Finding a subject is always an interesting process. Sometimes things easily fall into your lap and other times it feels like you're running a marathon that simply will not end. One of the points I agree with from the reading is always hvaing a notebook with you, because they are absolutely correct in saying that during the quiet moments, great ideas will come to you. In Denmark, I always carried a moleskin with me and during my bus rides to class, I came up with some of my strongest ideas.
Another important point that was brought up in the reading was how visual a subject could be. Sometimes, I come up with a great idea and try to push for its quality as a story. But in the end, the story is better in words and lacks visual variety and content to be a strong photo story. It's important as a photojournalists to always look for the visual potential in a story before getting in so deep, that you are grasping for photos that simply aren't there.
