@azambelich talked about the importance of understanding why photojournalists work on the stories we work on. She said photographers need to bring their full selves into their stories and be honest about why they are there.

Newlyweds Roy and Janice Paxton got married on Tuesday near the steps of the #MPW75 headquarters. "Maybe the third time's the charm," a bridesmaid said during the ceremony. This is the couple's third time getting married.

Starting the morning with a breakout session from @lisakrantz about trauma-informed journalistic practices.

Adam Gray: "They're floaty; a lot of cushion when I have two cameras and a backpack and am walking around."

What shoes are best-suited to a photojournalists' needs? #MPW75 participants had a couple ideas 👇
-
1. Vincent Alban: "I don't have to tie them. I can just slip them on if I'm running out the door."

[Missouri Photo Workshop @MoPhotoWorkshop]

Emily Whitney: "I brought these because I didn't know if I'd do something like a ranch or farm where I might need closed-toed shoes."
