Blog Prompt 19
Can you think of anything that:
1) should not be photographed? Why?
I think something that is very hard to take pictures of are homeless people. When I was in New York there were many homeless people and my friend brought up a good point. Some people may want to take pictures to raise awareness, but many end up selling them, making money, and where does that money go? Not to the homeless.
2) cannot be photographed? Why?
I think anything can be photographed. Photography can capture anything you can see with your eyes. With the right equipment, lighting, or camera anything can be captured.
3) you do not want to photograph? Why?
Things I don't like to photograph are feet. I love shoes but I hate feet. It makes me really uncomfortable looking at them, much less photographing them.
