Just the other day, the local newspaper did a story about the homeless on Oahu. Like any clever newspaper, the Star Advertiser had staff photos to go with the story.
The image of a 32 year old man, from West Coast, holding a placard with the message that he was homeless and hungry, was used to illustrate the homeless condition on Oahu.
To my mind, if the local newspaper wanted to generate sympathy for the plight of the homeless, the photo of the 32 year old man was not the way to go. OR, was it the clever way that the local newspaper got the message across to the readers that the problem was not without a down side. "Look at how your tax dollars are being spent".
Rather think my 'photo' has more meaning...
