D. So what do we do when half of the professional photographers on this list think it is o.k. to pose and direct documentary photographs? I would have thought the LUG would have higher standards. Some of the NPPA list have the right motivation but they are mostly 20 year-old interns working for peanuts or less. When it comes down to making a living or telling their story, they could go the same way as some of the ones who have sold their souls to the devil!! What now!
