Of course, no death is less worse than another, but it could have been her husband, her only brother, or her child. And it seemed like your impulse to take the picture, which granted could've been great, came before your evaluation of the sum, you know? And remember how mad you got at me when I was taking pictures of you hack-coughing in your apartment a few months ago in the midst of your bronchitis? I'm not trying to hate on your blog!, but I'm just curious, do you now wish that you took it? Also, we didn’t even know the circumstances of the death call.

I think it would be okay if you took it and she didn't notice. That's why the golden age street photographers were big on cameras that were quiet. But to just get in her face like a paparazzo would be ridiculous. Sometimes honor is worth more than a picture, even if it's a really good picture. Interesting.

Death photography is fascinating. My grandmother had as a hobby photographing bodies at funerals. She did so for over 60 years and so we have this fascinating record of every family member or friend of the family to die from the time my grandmother was around 25 to 90ish. I think all funerals should be photographed and all bodies be photo'd... so I don't think this is exploitive at all! I think it’s great. Death photography is fascinating.
