Blog Prompt #19

Can you think of anything that:


1) should not be photographed? Why?
2) cannot be photographed? Why?
3) you do not want to photograph? Why?


Answering the first question, I certainly do believe there are things that should not be photographed. If the person who is photographed does not give permission, then it should be up to them what the fate of their photo is. I think that things that are being exploited for personal gain or profit should NOT be photographed as well. That goes into a darker matter, and I'm sure I'm not alone on that stance.
I'm sure there are limitations of photography in instances of natural occurrences, such as inside of a volcano during eruption or at the bottom of the Mariana trench, but with time, I'm sure developments can be made. There are certain things that are conceptual that cannot necessary be directly photographed, and those may go into scientific concepts or even spiritual beings.
I personally do not want to photograph things that disgust me. I do not want to even have to find things that do, so I would much rather photograph something else. I am a big chicken when it comes to gory, scary movies. I'd hate to photograph spiders again. I hate them, and would rather not be in close enough proximity with them to photograph. I had an issue with very large ones over the summer, and I am trying to move on from remembering them.
