I am currently studying psychology but I have a huge passion for photography and documenting the realities of life. I've had a really difficult time trying to find a career that I can be all-in because I have a need to create and to inform. As someone who is looking to do the reverse of your career trajectory:

• What were your biggest struggles as a photojournalist?
• Is there any way that you're aware of to combine the fields of psychology and photojournalism into a career?

Just FYI the link you provided leads to a dead page.

Wow, thank you so much for the thorough reply!

I am specifically focused on understanding human development through biological and evolutionary lenses. I will be graduating with a B.S. this June. Graduate school is not in my immediate plan, although it has not been ruled out but rather simply postponed until I have a better idea of what to study.

I find it interesting and innovative that you have used photography to support your research by exemplifying your findings and perhaps reach a wider audience. I feel that photography in itself is a language that many understand but not all speak, and I'm always amazed to see people manipulate the practice in novel ways. I will certainly check out both The Way It Was and the People I Have Shot.

Again, I appreciate your time and such a thorough reply.
