I think when photographers start to use their concious, we wouldnt have many of the great photos that are out there. Is not the job of the photographer to show the world what is out there? We let others decide what to think of it.

Although I am fully against any form of Nazism, I do believe that submitting a photo of a coin or whatever it is, showing a Swastika is not tasteless. Like someone here said, it might be used for educational purposes, or for historic purposes.

But then again, I do understand why people would be against submitting this photo.


Semmick, I have to agree with your post here. I think (hope) the vast majority of people are against any form of Nazism, but the image definitely isn't glorifying it in any way, but to the contrary. There are a number of ways this image could be used, even possibly for something like the anti-bullying/anti-hate campaigns that are gaining such momentum now. As displeasing as the image may be, there may still be a very good use for it, to promote something good and it may have that extra impact purely because of the unpleasant nature.

I do however, understand others' feelings on this as well.
