This is not to say that such photos are "bad," but simply to point out that the former and the latter are two very different things. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Luis Miguel Casta?eda Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 12:16 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Photojournalists and permission On 19 de abr de 2005, at 17:33, Karen Nakamura wrote: > I hold myself to a pretty high standard. If I want to shoot, lets say, someone in their workplace, I ask; if I'm shooting a celebration in the street, or a fair market, I don't. More than standards this is a matter of education. Posing, directing, etc are other wars. Saludos ----------------------------------------- http://imaginarymagnitude.net/blog/ _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
