I'm really bothered by random people taking photos of bodies. Twice I've seen bodies recovered from the river. While they were on the dock waiting for the medical examiner, a lot of passersby took pictures. The bodies were covered, but still. It seemed rude to photograph them.

I was also bothered by people taking photos of the World Trade Center site while the body recovery was still going on. I was quite vocal about that, too. I'm sure many tourists decided I was a crazy lady.

Granted, any given photo probably contained nothing disturbing, but the idea of people doing that seemed awful to me.

In both of these cases, legitimate news photography wouldn't have been disturbing. Perhaps I'm illogical, or maybe old-fashioned. It's a different world when most phones have a camera, and everyone is a photographer.
