It is crucial in photojournalism to tell a story with your photos.  It can be very difficult to do this in a studio, which is why Casey’s choice to photograph the subject in this piece outside in a different context was such a strong conceptual choice. Simply by placing her on the road, he not only gave himself a great compositional leading line with the road, but also linked the photograph back to the story.  This young lady was trying to win a handicap accessible van - a mode of transportation and freedom.
