fair city
In response to the Chinese disaster photo I dont think it should be taken down. It is very upsetting but that's the point. I have often wondered whether I would have the ability to stay as impartial as I could and not dive in there and help if I was put in such a situation. I suppose the only way that the people behind the camera in such heart-breaking pictures manage to refrain from ditching the camera and helping as best they could is that they know that people back at home will see the photos and that they may then dig deep and donate to the aid operation thus indirectly saving lives.I could see there being a potential argument for taking it down if this site was frequented by young people who are perhaps of a more sensitive nature but the vast majority of people on here are adult and mature(!). Its a lot worse for the people actually living that nightmare than for us sitting in front of a computer.

i don't have a problem with the photo per se, nor the content. people just seemed to miss my point, being that i didn't think the photo was 'quality'.
Technically its fine, but other than that its just a competent photo of some dead kids. Its not a great photo by any measure.
