Amateur photography revisited
Ugh. Right now to my west and northwest are severe thunderstorms that have spawned some tornados this afternoon. NBC-15 in Madison has had storm coverage since I came home from work, and by and large it was responsible-until one minute ago. At that time the weatherman encouraged people to email their digital photos into the station. Now there will always be idiots like me that want to see storms, but when the media offers to run pictures, the number of us idiots doing a stupid thing increases by a factor of 10. The media is getting hooked on amateur, digital coverage of breaking news, and will until a few of these amateurs get injured or killed because they aren't careful.
