Wrong focus
To the editor:
In the Aug. 7 “Image of the Day,” “Camel racers charge through desert,” it states that the Sharqeya Camel Race Festival is controlled by track lengths and the camels’ ages? How about reporting on the little boy jockey who was probably stolen from his village, starved, beaten and discarded like one of Michael Vick’s dogs?
The Journal-World should have used this opportunity to point out the atrocity rather than glorifying the so-called sport.
Do you think it is coincidence that in the same paper you’re charged with reporting “pseudo-news”?
To quote Ansel Adams: “A good photograph is knowing where to stand.”
