It's not a really good photo. Except that I "like" the look of pain
in the
girl's eyes. It makes it look authentic. (Please don't get me
wrong, I not
into pain)
It certainly looks authentic, and somewhat unpleasant to boot. I'm
not certain that this qualifies as street photography but I'm also
not certain that you consider it that either.
...I may be old fashioned about this, but sticking holes in me is
not what I do
in public. (I barely do it private, and when I do, I always wear my
read
rubber knickers). ;-)
I'm also not entirely certain that I *want* to know more about
that. ]'-)
Comments please: Am I just being an old fart who doesn't understand
young
people today? I choose to make this photo public. Does that make me a
hypocrite?
LOL! I am an old fart and I am proud not to understand young people
today. That's ok: they don't want to understand me either. I do
empathize with them and enjoy engaging with them when the opportunity
arises, however. :-)
I don't see how documenting/publishing the activities of people
around you makes you a hypocrite in any way. Presenting a photograph
is not an expression of wanting to promote an activity one way or the
other unless you intend for that to be the point of the presentation.
