Talk:Candid photography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since this article was up for deletion, I decided to reanalyze the subject and separate the very good previous entry into bits that allow for later expansion. I personally love what I call action trash photography, but if people here decide to call it "candid" that's fine with me :-) I call it action trash, since I end up throwing away 1/5 of the film if not more, and since the results really have a trashy quality to them. But I am aware that this is very much my own point of view...
So, now the entry is a worthwhile Wikipedia entry. I loved it beforehand, but if someone complains about it's UnWikiness, that can be fixed easily, particularly with important foundations already being laid.
Now, you all can go ahead and put in more stuff.
There are more photographers worthwile mentioning.
There are camera models that are very good, and some that are not so useful, for candid photography.
There are "very, very, very candid" photography situations that probably smoothly blend into erotic photography.
Is there candid journalism?
All that is now up for editing, and that's what makes a good Wikipedia entry: a paragraph by paragraph analysis of a subject so further understanding of the main term is generated, and further contributions are easier to channel.
I hope some people share my take on this subject, otherwise PUHLEZZEE revert to the previous version of this entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.254.142.80 (talk • contribs) 12:37, 12 March 2005 (UTC).

[edit] External links
the use of external links is an important one and is not spam. When users come to this page they expect to find information and links provided by editors and expect those links to be authority links. It is wrong to come and remove them in a sweeping fashion. that is not the job of an editor. An editor should add not remove. Please add more links instead of removeing them all. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.4.20.2 (talk • contribs) 17:19, 30 November 2005 (UTC).
- No, that is not Wikipedia's guideline on External links. In particular we should not be adding external links that promote the work of one commerical photographer over another, unless they were the photographer who defined a particular style, such as Henri Cartier-Bresson for Street photography perhaps. -- Solipsist 10:43, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
