Persecution for Photos?

                The authorities prosecute artist that take pictures with meaning and real personality. When one of the artists, Umida Akhmedove, took a photo of a child on the muddy floor she was taken to court. The complaint stated, “With one glance at these pictures on can see that repair work is being done in these rooms, and that the children entered them purely through the child’s curiosity that is inherent to them, but to foreigners these photographs may give the impression that these children live in these homes.”

                I found it to be interesting that they are actually prosecuting people for this. I compelety disagree with what they are doing. If they really do feel that you can see that children are just wandering around and the houses are still being built then they should have nothing to fear. With them prosecuting people for this is showing that they are scared of something. It also shows a weakness on their side.

                 In conclusion, I do think that is wrong to go after people for their creativity. They are just trying to make a good picture with real feeling. I also think that the other artist should take a stand and do something. This is putting a cap to the creativity and new ideas that people could be bringing to the world. It is not right!
