Steven,

Thank you for sharing that story.

Not to argue, I agree with you totally, but - some of these intrusive photographs do make people take action. At the expense of the person photographed unfortunately. Take the Katrina victims for example. Reading about demolished homes or even seeing photos do not have the same impact as seeing a real live devastated person. Seeing them...brings the human side to any story and Im willing to bet it encourages folks to give money, volunteer their time, etc.

Im wondering how many of us would allow our image (taken at our worst) if it meant it would move people to help?

Just another thought on the subject.
