commodification

One of my struggles as a photographer interested in street photography and photojournalism is the temptation to objectify people for the sake of art.  There is a fine line, which is very easy to cross, between using the camera to tell the truth about pain and suffering and ignoring a persons dignity in order to make an interesting photo.
