Yves, good job. Another good photograph. You obviously affected the audience. You brought out a lot of feelings.
RobArk... I COMPLETELY agree. I deal with the other end of the spectrum, every shift. I am a Firefighter/Paramedic with 11 years in the system. While Rob has to deal with the families, I get to scrape these people off the roadway. Often times, I end up working these people up, knowing that it is a futile effort. Or, (in my opinion, even worse), we end up saving their "lives" for them to be discharged from the hospital to a long-term care facility in a comatose-state and on a ventilator.
THIS IS REALITY. It shouldn't be sugarcoated. If this photograph makes people think, then it has done its job. Someone earlier stated stated it well... If you don't like it, then don't look, and move on. Even if you didn't like it, it hopefully made you stop and think, just for a moment, about the dangers of daily life.
This IS photojournalism. This IS a website dedicated to ALL types of photography. If it's not your thing, then don't look... If you only like nature photography, then visit one of the myriad website's dedicated to nature photography. If you don't like the picture, you certainly have the right to speak your mind on the technical merits of the photograph. To attack the photographer is utterly pointless. Yves did NOT invade anyone's privacy, or break any laws. This happened out in public.
As for the license plate... Again, this is reality. It shouldn't be sugar-coated. There's really no good reason for it. It's part of the picture.
Yves, please keep up the excellent work and keep posting examples from ALL the types of photography that you do.
PEACE
Andy
