I'm looking for references for a student who wants to explore this field. At the moment she is not sure of the precise direction so any suggestions are welcome! In other words, When is it right or wrong to take a picture? And to follow, when is it right or wrong to take a picture for oneself When is it right or wrong to publish a picture? When is it wrong to manipulate a picture to prove a (presumably) dubious point? When is it wrong to select one of a series of pictures to prove a (presumably) dubious point? Thank you, Howard
