A couple of weeks ago, I cleaned my garage and found 20 year old negatives. I used to work with the "challenged" and most of photos were of them. By coincidence, now, my wife is a special ed kinder teacher and many of my photographs are of that population. But for privacy issues, I'm not allowed to post any. Since this is about 20 years old, I think its okay to post.
Eric . It would be good if you could comment on the criticisms. What was the purpose of the image ? ( Humanity of those who are 'different' ? ?????......) . What consent did / do you have for the photograph ?
Would you care to comment on the reason for posting ?
Art can be shocking (should be shocking ?) but the rights of the vulnerable are particularly important.
