When Kennedy died I don't recall anyone thinking let alone everyone thinking that it was the PHOTOGRAPHERS that did it or were at fault. I am a photographer. I shoot pictures of people. I am glad my profession has been "cleared" from this widely publicized and historic incident which clearly involves many basic legal and moral issues also of special interest to photographers and photography: Freedom of the press, privacy issues are all integrally entwined here. And I am resentful that Photographers were put in question in the first place. If the relevance of this escapes you than hit the delete button when you see issues that pertain to doing photography in the real world and go play with your expensive cameras in your cloistered walls.
