b.d. suggested that our arrested "photojournalist" was actually a protester
because he was hired by greenpeace (who was doing the protest).

question then is, "what if Mother Jones had hired him to photograph the
protest? would he be a photojouralist then?" and the corrosponding question
is, "what if greenpeace had sent him to photograph someone _elese's_
protest?" the root factor of this being "can the la times send a
photographer to cover the opening of the new la times building and still be
a photojournalist rather than a hired publicist?"
