Actually, being a vegetarian is much cheaper - I became one twenty years ago
in order to afford the costs of a photography course (little did I know then
that photography wasn't vegetarian)- although my reason for being a vegetarian
is not a moral one, one can understand the distress of someone who is
vegetarian and committed to photography.
The other dilemmas associated with phtography are environmental - its a very
dirty business - do we think enough about these things and act on them - ordo
we hope it will all just go away.
For someone like myself who encounters younger people with strong
(uncompromised) moral positions all the time in a University setting this
really is worth discussing.
Thank you for your input so far. Any practical suggestions/alternatives?
