Actually capturing that moment is the culmination of so many
things. When done right the final image should bring with it an allure that the
picture was taken with ease. In reality for every moment captured many more
were missed. Everything plays a role: education, preparation, assignment,
equipment, time, luck, being at the right place at the right time, and it
all goes out the window when you miss.
The moment can’t be repeated and can’t be re-shot you have
missed it forever. In this way photojournalism is the only still form of the
documentation of human life. You have to move on and analyze if the mistake
could have been avoided. It’s about eliminating as many missed shots as
possible so you can focus on getting a picture that conveys what the subject is
feeling as well as what you are seeing.
