I had an assignment to shoot some panhandlers for a story that was talkinig about a proposed city ordinance that would make aggressive panhandling illegal. This would also include some canvassers. Greenpeace was mentioned so I sought out a GreenPeace canvasser. His name was Brent and it turns out that Greenpeace has a policy against allowing their employees to be in a photo unless otherwise authorized by Greenpeace. So this kid got fired because of my photo. Dang. I felt awful. Today they reversed their decision. I get the sinking suspicion in might be because the WW was asking around about it and they didn't want the bad PR.
