I see this thread has been moved to "Off Topic," and I suppose it did—inevitably—stray off topic, and quickly at that, but I do want to say that the reason I brought it to this forum was to discuss the potential for photography to be misunderstood, whether accidentally or more cynically, on purpose.
I also think that the photographer did a great job documenting a troubling issue while preserving her subjects' humanity.
You may now resume your film-is-dead and which-bag-makes-my-butt-look-big? conversations.
