My initial rwaction was to feel sorry for the principal subject as the woman on the left appears to be berating her. I dis not get the feeling of encouragement at all.

Although it makes an interesting picture, I suspect this photo may not be representing the actual situation very well. Sometimes a photo can be very misleading, far less illuminating than the often quoted thousand words. I guess it might tell a story, in a paparazzi kind of way. And I understand that photography is more than just willing, smiling faces for the camera. But the negative impression of a barking sister may be embarrassingly far from the mark. And of course a photo like this could be used to make a political point about the circumstance of adult Down's syndrome, possibly far beyond the true situation here.

 

In a way it bothers me that paparazzi can take thousands of 'public' photos of movie stars, but the one that sells is the one that catches the subject in bad light. I know it's legal, but it colors street photographers as a group to be a little unsavoury. And this photo will make me think twice about the next guy snapping photos in a public place.
