Read an article on this recently, possibly in the weekend paper by a photojournalist who said he isn't a medic so concentrates on doing the best job he can to get the story out to the world.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182743312553270315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-88817472647334880002010-07-21T15:56:17.161+10:002010-07-21T15:56:17.161+10:00I agree that they were behaving stereotypically.
...I agree that they were behaving stereotypically.<br /><br />However, would you post on the homeless? Or on the disabled? Or on the retarded?<br /><br />Or is this different because they choose to drink. I agree they did not choose to be Aboriginal.<br /><br />Should one photograph a car accident or help the injured? Or is that casting a too wide net?Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-56595764951938283462010-07-21T15:39:42.015+10:002010-07-21T15:39:42.015+10:00Nice work Cara.

If there is a stereotypical behaviour and they happen to be behaving it, then that's fair cop. If you were to present them in a context which was different from reality then that may be the cause for some introspection.<br /><br />I don't think that reporting simply as you have done should cause any angst whatsoever!bitingmidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593806233011328620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-1311312760679419072010-07-21T10:25:56.278+10:002010-07-21T10:25:56.278+10:00Thanks for your input.

I am still unsure how I feel about the whole thing... one thing's for sure - it makes you focus on the responsibility of the photographer.carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787018321269238581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-74319621984643193822010-07-21T09:36:59.943+10:002010-07-21T09:36:59.943+10:00Absolutely love it.

Certainly in Sydney I'd be loath to approach them as they can get quite aggressive. Although I did approach the big, tattooed Samoan guy on the train - and he was lovely.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182743312553270315noreply@blogger.com
