[Leica] Re: Jill Greenberg's Distressed Children

[leicachris at worldnet.att.net (Christopher Williams)]

One who is called "Chief Evangelist for the Photo Sharing Site Zooomr"
should be taken with a grain of salt.

Since when have photographers not "provoked" children in some way or another
through the decades?

At least they are not dressed up and painted up to be teenagers at a beauty
contest. Now that's abusing.
