As a student of photography and anthropology, objectifying people with my photography is something I'm constantly worried about.
However, when I see an adorable kid sometimes I just can't help myself. All I see is their adorable-ness - I pull out my camera and try to unobtrusively take a quick snapshot, fudging the quality in the process (sorry Killip & Harper!).
It is only afterward, when I am looking at the photograph on my computer screen that I notice how poor their conditions are and wonder why their parents weren't with them.
