Viewfinders: Photojournalism with Yana Paskova

Editor's Note: Each day this week Viewfinders will introduce a new photojournalist. Log on everyday to hear their stories from the 2008 campaign trail, and see them compete against each other on Friday's Viewfinder Photojournalism Challenge episode.

Photojournalist Yana Paskova’s work captures the political with an artful bent; as she puts it, she searches for shots that are “beautiful and meaningful at the same time.” Paskova’s upbringing in Bulgaria gives her a unique perspective on what is arguably the most momentous American presidential election to date. Hear her challenges and triumphs in covering one of the most poignant political moments of our time.
