I'm a preschool teacher in a speech therapy room and love nothing more than genuine hugs from boogery, sticky children.
I am blessed to have a home in the forest and have come to love the critters living here like family. I thoroughly enjoy capturing their personalities on film.

I don't know if anyone listened to NPR today, but there was an excellent discussion about the ethics of documenting tragedy. If you google NPR, Documenting tragedy: The ethics of photojournalism you should be able to find it.

No One Special : I did, many ethical questions raised concerning photographers and tabloid rags who purchase their photographs. What position do you support?
December 8 at 12:22PM
EvaB : I appreciated the photographer who said that she asks herself "will this photo harm anyone" before she shoots. I think we need to really take a look at what our motives are when taking extremely personal shots of people.
December 9 at 8:58PM
Janie A R : I agree; it's tough!
December 9 at 11:59PM
No One Special : I think we need to check our motivations on EVERY thing we do. Harming people can be done well beyond taking a picture.
December 11 at 2:08PM
EvaB : Indeed!
December 13 at 7:20PM
No One Special : I'm going to take your response as profoundly sincere and has nothing to do with mocking.
December 15 at 2:16PM
EvaB : Yes, it was profoundly sincere.

Inner Eye : As the saying of taking pictures, "Get the Shot". After getting the shot, one must internalize the harm/moral it can do, to each person involved, including the photographer. If safety of others or the photographer is involved, It not worth it then.
January 30 at 6:40PM
EvaB : Unfortunately, as one woman expressed in the interview, to grieving people the very act of photographers pushing in to "get the shot" can be very humiliating and traumatic.

I hope it's OK to promote this on here, but they have a very affordable photography
workshop here in the Black Hills in Sept.
called the Black Hills Photo Shootout. For $150 you can choose from 4 sessions- either indoor workshops or on location. It is a heck of a deal and a great way to see the Black Hills. If interested in more info let me know or visit blackhillsphotoshootout.com
And......The Buffalo Roundup in Custer State Park is earlier that same week! So if you ever wanted to come to the hills to shoot
(with a camera) that's the time to do it!

Cephus : Would love to, only visited the area once and would like to return. Not this year but perhaps at a future time - looks like fun.
August 1 at 10:05PM
EvaB : I hope one day you and Mary can visit. With 2 kids at college, we have lots of room.
