A French photojournalists once told me that a single image of a true photojournalist should tell as many parts of a story's lead as possible. When I see this, all I really get about the story is that it involves ping pong paddles and nothing else. I guess I miss the rest of the story. I certainly didn't get contest from this image and I think that would have added an important layer--a layer that was energetic for aesthetic's sake and informative, which I feel is near necessary.
