I think I might have shot the scene going on if I could do it without being noticed by anyone and any shots that contained any imagery of the unfortunate soul I would have just permanently blacked out with a filled rectangular marquee in photoshop (even on my originals, thats just too morbid), but the investigation going on may have been interesting to review. jco

That is just more than a little morbid for me, and kinda' disrespectful of both the deceased and his/her family. If I were a news photographer, that would depend on the editorial policy of who I was shooting for. I am not sure I would work for a publication that made a point of publishing a lot of corpse photos, though. -Tom in SC John Coyle wrote: > What would you have done? > Yesterday, a young man died in the small park opposite where I live. > The > street was full of police and their vehicles, for about 5 hours all told. > Despite the fact that I could see all this action, and from our roof could > see the body and the various examinations taking place, I did not shoot a > single photograph. > > I'll leave any further comment at this stage... > > John Coyle > Brisbane, Australia > > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
