Welcome to Stop the Presses a monthly news feature aimed at showcasing some of the very best from the Photojournalism Gallery on dA. Myself along with my team of =tanya-n, (gotta have ladies first), *Slimmons, (my brotha from anotha motha), *Archange, (the french master of cynicism), and `bzed, (buuhh-zed) scour the photojournalism gallery each month looking for what best exemplifies what the category can and should be, Stop the Presses was kidnapped by aliens last month, but have no fear, we recaptured our selections so you get a double dose....

MARCH





April
*Archange



Really good (but hard to achieve!) technical choices here, like aperture, speed, framing, bring a very dynamic emotional blast that helps telling a story by this picture.



A simple but efficient snap that shows that photojournalism is all about coming as close as possible to the subject without disturbing it.



Being here at the right time, catching a decisive instant in a camera : this deviant succeeded immortalizing emotion.



Because a picture does not need to show everything when suggesting let your imagination so much better finish the story behind.



Impressive light makes this everyday instant so surreal.

I highly recommend *hersley's gallery - he has some powerful images, as well as subtle ones, like this one.


~SAMLIM's gallery also contains many gems like this one, which successfully illustrates how vivid and colourful Indian festivals can be.


~Trueblood has some very amusing and humorous shots like this one. Of course, being a fan of pigs, I'm slightly biased..


=suerdas has captured expressions and atmosphere with this effective sports shot


This simple yet striking shot by ~fluorogoat is a stark reminder of the victims of war


=radiohat continues to amuse us with his shots of the quirky Viennese - and quirky is an understatement!

by ~SAMLIM is a great capture of old world charm.


there is no effin way I would ever let any of my friends jump over me with their boards. *InfernalFear shows us what being at the right place at the right time can do.


I'm loving the point of view that *hersley presents in this shot.


I had to include this shot by ~incredi simply because it reminds me of the approaching summer!


~Daxius shows what rock and effin'roll is all about.


See you next month. And don't forget if you come across great photojournalism to recommend it to any of our selectors, =tanya-n, *Archange, *Slimmons and `bzed.

And send me your Daily Deviation suggestions!
