NO TRESSPASSING!

A while back, a local retail chain sent out a catalog which contained a lot of pictures of their models standing and sitting on railroad tracks. The very shiny rails gave evidence to the fact that they were shooting on an active line. Several photos, which I found most offensive, were taken on a bridge, with one models foot between the running rail and the guard rail. I took the time to write a letter to the advertising dept of the retailer and explained what I thought were some very significant errors in judgement. I asked if they knew that they were trespassing. I asked how they would feel if someone from the RR trespassed on the store's property to take advertising photos for the RR. I asked if they realized the danger of the things that they were doing. I asked if they thought that this depicted proper examples of behavior to children that would see their catalog. I actually got a nice reply letter back where they acknowledged my concerns and in which they indicated that they would be having a conversation with the person that sets up sites for photo shoots. I guess sometimes it a pays to point out tresspassing. <br />
