And conflict sells. It is a basic element in story telling. Whether I am telling a story with a camera, or a story with words.

Even that haunting picture of the Afghan girl that National Geographic ran a few years ago, the eyes are haunting and tell you things were not easy, ergo conflict. Another example of this is the photo of a Spanish civil war soldier getting shot. It is considered one of the top photos in the history of photo journalism.

Top Awards have Photogs from all over the world. The photos that tend to win accolades are of war zones or disasters.

Now, photo essays are done regularly of other aspects of movements, but usually those are done as essays.
