Shel's subjects weren't humiliated. They obviously agreed to be photographed and are apparently not ashamed of their condition. I see nothing wrong with documenting it. You seem to imply that Shel is in someway burdening the list with his street photography. It seems, however, that the vast majority enjoy it. No one should attempt to impose artistic limitations on the work of others. Please refrain from cluttering the list with such mindless BS.

Why don't you discuss your photo instead of general politics or the well-being of the Caveman.

You have a sadistic pleasure for taking *portraits* of humans in humiliating/degrading postures. You can do social and political activism photography without being that specific. Think about it.

But Bill, The Caveman has left all the problems of his native country
behind and has found a sort of Nirvana in Canada. No longer is there a
need to be concerned with those who have less while one is on the quest for
more. He has moved out of "La Grotte de Lascaux" and there is no desire to
look back.
