11/12

Hi everyone,
For the blog post this week, please respond to the two questions below. (And include a mention of which essays from the class readings this semester are informing your answers to the questions).
1) Do photographers of persons who are victims have a special (perhaps ethical) obligation to get out from behind the camera and become directly involved in promoting the comfort or safety of a victimized person whom they photograph?

2) Do photographers or their editors have an ethical responsibility to publicly inform viewers that a photo has been modified digitally or altered with Photoshop?

Greetings,
For the blog entry this weekend: post a link to an altered photo; explain what has been altered in the photo, what the purpose of this alteration is, and argue whether or not the alteration is benign or poses an ethical problem.
