When I take a picture and make it look beautiful, I advertise what's on it.
Sometimes we see things that make for amazing photos, even though they are evil
in reality. Dying people, terrible industry, poverty, decay and so on: It all can become
kind of acceptable and we even find beauty in it! To me this is a perversion.
This Combinatul (more about its history here) is a good example. It looks
absolutly stunning in a photography-sense, but it is actually a symbol for
greed and the destruction of our enviroment.
I'd be interested to hear your opinions about the ethics of taking pictures.
Disclaimer: I am not a documentary photographer; I look for peace,
beauty and equilibrium beyond our reality, and I do find it in abundance!

was very small then (~50 followers). I now repost some of the best pictures I made to an audience of 1000+.
