Folk pop. My initial model for this was Phil Ochs' "I Ain't Marching Anymore" in that the narrator describes being present at the photographing of iconic moments of the past century.
WHAT MY CAMERA SAW

What my camera saw
What my camera saw
I shot Tianenmen
When a tank was stopped by just one hand
And my camera rolled when Oswald was shot point blank
What my camera saw
What my camera saw
I shot the pictures
When the troops
Charged the hill at Omaha Beach
And I shot at Kent State but couldn't save her
She was too out of reach
What my camera saw
What my camera saw
I hear you're leaving
Hacienda Heights
And then you're headed for Spain
Where you'll
Shoot the revolution unless it gets cancelled by rain
What my camera saw
What my camera saw
I shot the raid on Abbottabad
When they fed him into the sea
I took my aim at Rodney King
But filmed the cops instead of him
What my camera saw
What my camera saw
