Why I just can't stop shooting in every single day, because:
BUSINESS-I am a news photographer in Wahington, DC, US, working for 1.3 billion readers, which equals to 1/4 population of this planet.
PLEASURE-I love walking around and shooting those waderlusts as my diary.
Basically I think photo is an effective way to express myself.
Why this is good UGC: This photo captures the spontaneity of the moment, right when the family walks out together. The flag barely misses the central figures of the photo, which lends credibility to the photo.

Why this is good UGC: This is a raw photo, meaning composition was not the primary photo. The amateur look of the photo and the perspective of looking at their backs gives this a very unedited appearance.
