     Photojournalism isn't only about taking photos. It's also about conveying information with captions.
     I walked around the floor of the Republican National Convention hall in Tampa, where the
Republicans were gearing up for the arrival of delegates on the next day.
    A workman was wiping a reflective surface near the seats for the Florida delegation. I took
his photo then asked him who he was voting for.
     He identified himself as a supporter of Democratic President Barack Obama, who is seeking
re-election. I asked him to explain his support of Obama.
     The man said, "Because he's a black guy. That's about it."
