On a side note, have any of you had a chance to watch “Born Into Brothels”? It won the 77th Annual Academy Award for best documentary and is already on DVD. I would strongly suggest checking it out if you get a chance. The movie centers on a group of kids who are given cameras to take pictures of the world around them from their point of view. Some of the pictures are just amazing. My favorite was taken by Suchitra and is entitled “Girl on a Roof”, go to http://www.kids-with-cameras.org/kidsgallery/ and click on the thumbnail 3 rows down and 3 columns over. If you decide to watch the film, be forewarned that it is a very intense film yet very inspirational. Check out http://www.kids-with-cameras.org/bornintobrothels/ for some more info.

I think those in category 3 are not necessarily snobs, but perhaps realize you want candid shots and thus they should act as if you weren’t there. That’s what good models do, anyway. Unless they’re “making love to the camera.”
