The New Hippocratic Oath of a Photographer

I don't see what the benefit of those restraints are. If someone like HDR, then let them play.

You should be aware that many physicians don't take the Hippocratic Oath, because it's basically only useful for the ancient time that it originated in. The original oath had injunctions against treating kidney stones. It also said that you should abandon or not take on any seriously ill or dying patients - lest you be blamed for their death and be lynched by the unhappy family. When I graduated from McGill Medical school, we didn't take the Hippocratic Oath just for these and many other reasons. It is a piece of self-serving hypocrisy.
 
Uh-oh....

Now you gone and done it... there's gonna be some fussin' and fightin'...

I will sit back and enjoy the show.

:rolleyes:
 
1) I've broken half of those rules already this week.
2) You should add "I will not take pictures of young scantly clad drunk girls who are making duck faces". The key part to the statement isn't drunk, scantily clad etc, but the duck face part of it.

I recently went to some Medical School graduations where the oath was read by the new grads. The other physicians in attendance were invited to recite the oath also. It seems to have been revised from the original given thousands of years ago.
 
You forgot "I will not photograph Bums or Homeless People in an attempt to either 1) invoke pity or 2) be ironic in some way.
 
It's not really that funny as satire as some of the things mentioned aren't really photographic clichées at all. It just seems to be a list of things the OP doesn't like.
