The photo story at this link fits the example of surveillance theory, I believe. Stuff is going on, and photojournalism is the medium that is going to show other people. Like any good surveillance, photojournalism needs to tell the world what is really, and I mean really going on. It’s easy to hear about people dying and suffering in concentration camps, but these pictures pretty much prove it.

Visual Perception –http://www.walkofheroes.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/detail-of-american-flag-11279635008nzaN.jpg
What does this picture make you feel? This photo is representative of visual perception because while the pictures is really just of a flag, most people will take the flag to mean something else. They see the fabric and the colors, but think America! Baseball! Mom’s apple pie! Soldiers! Fireworks! Beer commercials!
