If people only donated to those they knew, how would donations accumulate? I happen to know some people involved, but not everyone does.

Are they to wait for a telethon whereas little black kids plead a case for themselves and ask to be financially adopted for the same cost of a cup of coffee?

I don't politicize "life" per se, I just do what I can to help. At the end of the day, more of the money will make it to those who need it. Fact is, if you go to New Orleans, I guarantee most of the people are good. You can't believe everything you see on TV.

Funny thing, I asked Billy on the phone what he thought of the images of that cop holding DVDs. He said, "How does everyone know he didn't just take them from a looter?"

He is right. I thought the same thing he said, but you have to understand that many people allowed that image to paint a picture of the situation.

I love photography, as many of you know. I am intrigued by the way I can use my camera to change perspective: simple lense changes or light changes can alter the perspective of the picture. Photojournalist understand this concept and use it advantageously.
