It is harder to take lessons from this fourth and final segment and apply them to photojournalism, but there is one key point I would like to highlight. When Ira Glass talks about broadcast students mimicking famous television personalities, it makes me think of how many photojournalism students want to be the next James Nachtwey or other famous war photographer. While I think it is very important to study the work of others, and especially the greats, it is more important to find your own voice. As individuals we are all equipped with different sets of tools that we gather through our life experiences, and it is our job to figure out how to best use those tools in what we do. Instead of focusing on how you can be the next James Nachtwey, focus on how you can be the best version of yourself.
A special thanks to Ira Glass for his wonderful work. I will be posting more new photos this week, stay tuned.
Thank you, Zoriah. I have enjoyed this series and your commentary. I believe there is much truth here.

R.D. Vyas, a senior activist of voluntary organization Aastha pointed out the harmful consequences for food security. As subsistence tribal farmers give up staple crops like wheat and maize, and the fertility of their fields gets eroded by heavy use of dangerous pesticides, it is also risky to spread Bt cotton in largely rainfed conditions with very low access to irrigation.
