As photo editor of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, I look at a daily average of 300 photographs from staff photographers, reporters, regular correspondents, contributors and wire photographers. Here, the integrity of the photographer is given more weight than the individual photograph. Is the image unique, funny, extraordinary, or is it something any person with a camera can take? That’s why a good photographer is a thinking photographer. And the image taken will always reflect that, and will most probably land on the pages of the Inquirer.
