Do the Right Thing

Let's go to the end of story first. Here. The End.
How it exists now.
And a question:
not knowing the ethics of posting photos of other people, is it okay as long as you aren't making money by doing so? In fact this whole blog thing has me already $2.79 in the hole.

Back up. This is the adjusted photo that hangs on a wall at work in a hallway with other photos of group gathering. We won't say whose photo we adjusted as our work is seamless but we did so as a proper way to remember, as opposed to the former/following:


It has happened to all of us; you notice the photographer late in the process and decide to make a half hearted attempt at a smile. It survives as neither smile or sneer but just as one of those- we're sure glad they managed to get the monkey off your face- type of captures. Doesn't do you justice, we all agree. However we sort of enjoy the thought of who did you piss off? as this photo has existed in a public place for years.



But you've left us now and we realize that this really is not the best way for one part of your legacy to be remembered. So we wait until a later hour, and despite people still meeting in the room behind the picture, we grab it, alter it. It's the right thing to do. You may think it still looks odd, perhaps, but note that your head needed to be enlarged x320 just to get it to this point.

Now the beginning of this story: ... Hah hah hah haha ha hah hah.....
