Wow.
You either have a limited imagination, an amazing knowledge of the members 
of the human race or wrote that without thinking (which I confess to being 
guilty of on more than one occasion).

Non-consensual documentary makes up a small proportion of the images (still 
or moving) that have affected me strongly in one way or another (not wishing 
to use the words 'greatest hits'). Maybe I'm speaking as a rank outsider; I 
hope not.

I make documentary films, and unless deliberately trying to do someone harm 
(very rare), all are entirely consensual. Just because that is how I wish to 
be.
I probably wouldn't make it into JB's top 10,000,000,000 greatest hits, but 
I might. Who knows?

BTW Which of your category boxes would you put Raymond Moore into? He opened 
my eyes to the power of photography so much that I almost stopped painting.

With best wishes, each to their own, be good to yourselves,
Malcolm
