Reflection on Findings

Through out the research process I came across a lot of interesting information, some of which did and also did not pertain to my answer. Taking only a limited amount of information and putting that into my blog was tough, especially since the information answering my questions was very hard to find. Since I had a tough time finding direct answers, I decided to come at it from a different approach and research laws, mental researches, and happenings in the news. It was interesting to find there aren't many laws restricting certain photography, and even the ones present are not enforced. If a person takes a look around at people with cameras in public places, even if they are big shot photographers or not, that is illegal and no one is stopping them. The most helpful fact I found was when teenagers watch television or look at pictures of bad things that look good, they will have an urge to try them. I feel good about the research I have completed, however I do feel bad because I did not answer my original question of where the photographers today get their inspiration. Now that my research is complete, my opinion on my topic has changed from absolute adoration to a lesser version. While I still believe photography is a great way to spend time and express any feeling, it is also sad to see that a lot of photographers are very brazen in the fact that they are disrespectful and do not care about art, but the solid fact that they are getting paid.
