Maybe it was the bulge in his pocket from all the money he’s stealing.

Reminds me of the time a photo editor with a UK news paper put me to to task to explain why most of our newspaper pictures in Uganda are dull and nearly shot from the same angle. I fumbled but managed to find something to say, on second thoughts;

1. Most of the pictures on the pages are being deccided by news editors and not photo editors.

2. The shooters are failing to see the same frames differently so they continue regurgitating the same angles (less creativity).

3. Political influence prompts some news paper to sacrifice creativity on picture choices for the pages – for instance u will find a picture of say, Kapere, on page 1, 4, 5…….surprisingly, all of them may be portraits and you feel like puk.

4. But most importantly, most photo editors are so rigid and archaic that they require refresher training on contemporary photography. Have barely seen any Uganda news paper us abstract images that would, often, leave viewers gasping about the creativity of the shooter. They always love focussing on e subject itself even where it would necessary to do otherwise.

Shifa, thats exactly what am talking about. The only time the budget picture changed was when the Syda Bbumba took over. From suits to dresses! And also maybe from Parliament to Serena. Otherwise, expect the same picture of the briefcase!
