VERY LITTLE clean stuff. People seem to have sex on the brains most the time in all kinds of ways he wasn't going to tell me all about and I'm glad I don't know. But he gave me a bit of a hint. People are dirty. That's the human nature of them. There's no getting around it. If you want of find out how dirty get into the snapshot biz that's the best way to find out. When they're not shooting nudes of the significant other they are doing variations. Who knows? I'd have thought they'd saved stuff like that for polaroids but no people didn't care they'd turn them right into to the photo booth people. Who no doubt had their own private collections like the Robin Williams movie. Now that its digital I'm betting a lot personal private photography more than before is rated X. As Meryl Streep said "what's so private"? -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography mark at rabinergroup.com > From: Bill and Sue Pearce <bs.pearce at cox.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Sat, 28 Aug 2010 17:14:46 -0500 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] LUG Digest, Vol 46, Issue 123 > > and I'm very interested in your thoughts on the rights & > responsibilities of the person in the Photomat booth (so to speak) -- > at what point can or should they put their foot down and say "I'm not > printing this trash." > I'm sorry I waited to read some back digests to feel like I've wasted time > on a saturday afternoon, but... > The printer has every LEGAL right to refuse the business, but remember, > there is a huge difference between moral and legal, although in america far > too many believe what's legal is also always moral.
