More on Privacy

1. I have written about this before, but a conversation with a friend over the weekend yielded just one more thing….

2. It was about her sister, who recently gave birth to a baby girl. She’s about 6 months old, and started swimming lessons at a local pool the week before. As often happens when the subject of babies is brought up, photos are asked for — except this time Mum said that she didn’t take the camera to snap photos of her own daughter at the pool because she didn’t know what other people would think.

3. WHAT SORT OF DELUDED EXISTENCE DO WE INHABIT WHERE A MOTHER CAN’T TAKE PHOTOS OF HER DAUGHTER BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT THINK SHE WAS INTO KIDDIE PORN?

4. How uptight has society become? In the rush to “protect” kids we’re depriving them of seeing themselves when they were younger. We deprive parents from documenting their children, and we are depriving grandparents from seeing their legacy.

5. If it were my child I wouldn’t stop taking photos of them, whereever we were, and anyone who objects can go fuck themselves.
