This is another example which highlights how acceptable it is to just point and shoot, whatever the event.

While mobile footage is great at giving the news broadcaster instant footage as something happens, it increases the constant stream of information into the consciousness and increases intrusion into private lives as an unexpected event becomes a any-old-sod-with-a-camera photo opportunity.

But then, I’m biased in this. I’m one of those who were at KX on 7/7 and didn’t get my camera phone out to take marketable photos for selling to the media, I ignored the herd and got my hands dirty giving first aid and help.
