I love to take photos...I would take them all the time if I could. We'll be driving or walking along and I say to myself, "wow, that would be a great picture." Sometimes, I'll ask permission especially if the person happens to see me taking the photo. And then sometimes, I like the random kind of street scene with action and a flowy purple-lavender cape and the person never knows that her image has been captured forever. Is that bad? My ethicist friend would probably say it's not "bad" but there's something that feels wrong. Actually, she would use ethics-appropriate vocabulary but I'm not up to thinking about that right now. The other thing is, I don't like my camera so much. And I wrestle with the extravagance of purchasing a new one that I would really really like and wounding the feelings of the one who purchased this one for me that I would have never picked out. I still take photos, though. I would take them all the time if I could.
