It seems to me you follow your dogma no matter what! I guess you have lost your sense of photography taste. I DO take different sorts of images, including PHOTO JOURNALIST shots. Now you might not like it but it is part of our reality. Sooner you wake up, sooner you feel aware of your surroundings. I should correct your WRONG CLAIM about being with your group, POPPHOTO.COM. As far I remember, I became member of your group. I upload 1 to 5 images only (within a short period of 1-2 months ONLY). As a result of one of my photo journalist image, you banned me from the site WITHOUT giving any explanations. That's all. So please do NOT say lie. "he'll start posting content that most anyone would find objectionable.", It seems you are the only individual who did not like it. At the end I put the definition of Photo Journalism in Wikipedia in case you forgot about it: 'Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that creates images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, and in some cases to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (such as documentary photography, street photography or celebrity photography) by the qualities of: Timeliness — the images have meaning in the context of a recently published record of events. Objectivity — the situation implied by the images is a fair and accurate representation of the events they depict in both content and tone. Narrative — the images combine with other news elements, to make facts relatable to the viewer or reader on a cultural level.'
