I appreciated this chapter because it talks about not judging a story too quickly and sticking around with a subject. My strength in photojournalism is long-term story work. I am a firm believer in keeping in touch with subjects and continuing work, as someone story really never ends. It also shows the importance of the relationship between a photojournalist and their subject. If you disappear from your subjects life, sometimes it comes off in a bad way. They invest time with the photojournalist, and it can come off as the photojournalist simply using their story for personal gain.
I also thought it was interesting to look at death as a way subjects open up about their lives. I have never worked with someone who is close to this stage in their life. But I think it's an interesting way for a subject to reflect on their life and have it documented.
