- Photos NOT OK to edit
if people get worried about ethics then you would have no more photojournalism.....especially covering any sort of war or crisis.
Not at all. Taking pictures of a bloody and devastating accident scene with multiple fatalities to submit to a paper for a story and taking the pictures just to have for personal viewing pleasure are two completely different thing. Depending on your views and ethics will determine whether or not you deem that appropriate. I know a popular vote would say that the photojournalist is in the right and the casual photographer is in the wrong though.
It's reasons like this that I plan on moving out of the United States.
HAHAHAAHHAHAHAAHAHAA!!!!
Where? Africa? Europe is much worse. I think we have it easy in comparison. One guy I know that just moved back to the US said you can't even do candids of random people on the street in France without getting harrassed.
Ever see the ad campaign they have going in the UK where it tells people to call the cops if they see a photographer because the photographer might be a terrorist?
