Findings Three

Controversy in America is growing frantically over photos put out from the war. In the past few years there has been many cases in which photographers have been sued because they specifically dodge comments and wants from the people to do things they want and in the way they want. This can be against the law because the people taking the pictures do not have permission to take the pictures. For instance, when a deceased soldier's family had told the media they did not want their loved one photographed, a photographer in Iraq took a picture anyway and proceeded to say that he felt it was his journalistic duty to show the reality of the war, however unpleasant and brutal (Martinez 1). Although I know how great of an idea that can sound to America because we do not get as much news on the war as we like, consideration has to also go into how the family and friends feel about the information and pictures given. The reason why people act they way they do towards war photos can factor in with the emotions and relations with those photos.
