My last comment on this subject post:

I am not analytical when I'm shooting pictures. I see, I'm moved visually & 
emotionally I shoot! Faster than I type this! I rarely think about what I'm 
shooting, simply because I'm reacting to what I am motivated by, what I've 
observed and certainly by what, "I SEE!" Click!

There isn't any concern whether I'm photographing a lady, a man or child... 
it's all about what fits in the compassions of my heart. There have been 
many times I didn't shoot because it was against my moral principals to 
shoot a certain type of subject. Can I list them? No, because it flashes in 
at the moment the camera comes to my eye and I put the camera down. Or you 
see, but you do not shoot simply because, "I at that moment, decide the 
world doesn't need to see this kind of shit!" And pass it by!

These are the controlling thoughts and moments during a lifetime shooting 
the world day after day as life or death passed me by.

It's called a gut feeling of morality, not some mindless political 
correctness.
thank you all.
good night,
Dr. ted
