@NotTheFakeNate Yep, over Arizona. Good eye! KC-135 refueling a KC-10, was fun. Later We serviced a B1-B and B-52 as well. On my belly in the tail next to the boom operator, leaning in when he let me :)
@NotTheFakeNate It absolutely is. In the open, I could have sat on it. Crazy.
#CoSoPhotography #CoSoPhoto To continue ethics thoughts: if you are uncomfortable asking people about themselves, asking permission, or spending time with someone with the camera down, you might consider focusing on subjects you have access to, such as people at work or neighborhood. You will be confronted, for sure, by someone sometime. They may be angry, but if you articulate clear goals, have an empathetic conversation, many will open up. . Storytelling needs access.

The question suggests ur POV. People as graphical elements is difficult ethically, yet Cartier-Bresson is rightly revered for a storytelling of humanity worldwide. The other end is J. Ross Baughman spending years gaining access to tell difficult stories. Both approaches are supported by decades of law and ethics rules. Collaboration with a subject corrects the power imbalance in access-driven storytelling-sometimes impossible if the moment is immediate.
