13. as for insulting captions or descriptions....
I have seen many photos of children in other countries where they are described as poor or homeless, when they are just kids
dirty and playing. It's more a matter of cultural sensitivity. I hate to be photographed, particularly if my hair is a mess or about a zillion other reasons. If you have ever been in North Africa, as I was years ago, people do not want their photos taken. Maybe now it has changed, but I'll never forget people running from my camera. They were very adamant about it, so I guess that has stuck with me.
