Here’s the thesis of a great post that I was considering, “PAOs should only take pictures when appropriate.”
That’s boring. “Of course. Yeah. Whatever,” we might say. We’d likely say nothing at all.
A mentor once told me, “If there is a middle ground, you don’t find it on the internet.”
We find truth and clarity through discourse and argument.
Should Brigade PAOs take photos? Sure, I guess, when they have to. Should Brigade PAOs think awfully hard about being labeled as the commander’s photographer vice the command’s communication strategists? Fuck yes they should.
In the 189 or so comments that followed the camera post in the cesspool we call Facebook there were some great points, most of them arguing against the black/white interpretation of this post. Well said and thanks for getting us (the community) closer to some truth.
Keep reading, thinking and disagreeing.
