Prompt 19
The only thing that I could think of that should not be photographed is naked children. I can see how some see nudity as art, but not when it comes to kids. I remember hearing a photographer talk about how she was taking pictures of her son by a body of water, and she came out with some really nice shots, but she was saying that it would have been better if he had been naked. I just didn't get it, I thought the photograph that she got was great, and didn't think it would have been better if he had been naked. I think it's only ok to photograph someone without clothes if they are a consenting adult. I really can't think of anything that COULD not be photographed. There are things that might be physically impossible to capture, such as someone's thoughts or imagination, but in the art world, people create things all the time that give an illustration of things that cannot be seen, (for example, someone in my class did a project where he took pictures of his little sister and they were about her imagination. He got some great shots and he just used costumes, props, and set up scenes to illustrate things that she imagined.) I wouldn't really want to photograph someone who was severely injured or brutally killed. I don't like blood and gore. I can't imagine ever wanting to be in any situation with that sort of thing, like a police officer or a crime scene investigator, even a doctor or nurse that works in the emergency room...no thanks. I'd like to take pictures of pretty much everything else.
