Sorry that I have to say the above statement is really silly.  
Who are you?  How can you represent someone that did not speak?
You can read their mind?  You have talked to all of them?  You know any other of them?

Same behavier does not necessary mean same reasons or causes.

Your logic is just like the Government.
500,000 stand out while remaining 6000,0000 are supporting the Government.

Please read, study and think more.

其實呢件事未必係咁嚴重, 但就係唔係代表影響亦唔會大呢?
好多時好多事就因為覺得係小問題無乜緊要, 時間一路係咁過, 小問題不段不段咁出現, 咁又因為係小問題無人理, 結果會變成點呢? 好似依家既H5N1, SARS並唔係短時間內發生, 而係由好多好多被人忽視既小問題不段積聚落黎, 一次過爆發出黎, 而我地既偉大特區政府又唔識(定唔敢)點樣面對, 到達幾乎難以挽救既地步.

點解依家又會有咁多問題青少年呢, 其中一個原因, 咪又太多不正確既行為/思想合理化囉!

According to Canon website:

The corporate philosophy of Canon is "kyosei". A concise definition of this word would be "Living and working together for the common good," but our definition is broader: "All people, regardless of race, religion or culture, harmoniously living and working together into the future." Unfortunately, the presence of imbalance in our world -in areas such as trade, income levels and the environment- hinders the achievement of kyosei. Addressing these imbalances is an ongoing mission, and Canon is doing its part by actively pursuing kyosei. True global companies must foster good relations, not only with their customers and the communities in which they operate, but also with nations and the environment. They must also bear the responsibility for the impact of their activities on society. For this reason, Canon"s goal is to contribute to the prosperity of the world and the happiness of humanity, which will lead to continuing growth and bring the world closer to achieving kyosei.

蔡某的回應令人更加氣憤, 他口口聲聲以「新聞自由」及「新聞攝影」來合理化自己的觀點, 然而本人並不認為他和他師傅何時當了「記者」? 而事件發生時他們又是否正在為「新聞」而拍攝??

再者, 既然他以「新聞自由」來曲解, 我也引用「香港報業評議會」對各新聞從業員的守則指引來打破他不倫不類的詭辯!

大家可以參考網址 http://www.presscouncil.org.hk/c/defaultc.htm 並揀選「專業守則」一頁。

我們可以留意「操守守則」的
第4條:「新聞從業員應尊重個人名譽和私隱。在未經當事人同意，採訪及報道其私生活時，應具 合理理由，適當處理，避免侵擾個人私隱。」
  (本人看不到他們有甚麼「合理理由」)

第7條:「新聞從業員應以正當手段取得消息、照片及插圖。」
  (他師傅的行為怎能叫做「正當手段」?)

並「運作細則」(I)部關於「新聞攝影」的
第1條:「新聞攝影以紀錄真實為首要任務，記者在新聞現場應據實拍攝，不得參與設計或導演新聞事件，作誇大和不實的報道。」
  (既然原本安安樂樂的婆婆被弄至如至憤怒, 他才感到照片更有感染力, 這不是「參與設計或導演新聞事件」, 會是甚麼?)

第2條:「記者在拍攝意外事件時，應顧及受害人及其家屬的感受，盡量把對他們的心理影響及傷害減到最低。」
  (雖然當時不是意外事件, 但原則是一樣: 要顧及他人感受, 他們有顧及當事人感受嗎? 有令當事人的心理影響及傷害減到最低嗎?)

第3條:「攝影記者在拍攝過程中應該尊重被攝者的私隱。」
  (這個自然更不用解釋!)

第4條細項:「使用時須考慮：對說明新聞事件是否必要?」
  (這個也顯而易見, 他的拍攝有甚麼「必要」可言?)


我相信所有有良心的記者看到他們當時的行為, 也絕不會認同, 更不會對「新聞自由」一知半解便敦起一符「尊業人仕」的討厭格, 以曲解「新聞自由」來為所欲為!

世事確有黑白,
也有灰.

把對錯化為相對,
不見得比強人接受一己愚見less evil.

>我唔reply代表我唔support!?
No, he believes 唔reply代表object.

唔算尊重人算乜?---->唔算唔尊重人算乜?


----------------
如果真係相信文化係相對,
都要反省一下咩係文化自我中心;
唔係就係自欺欺人,講大話.

所謂大師, 所謂大公司, 簡直不知所謂. 不單侮辱了攝影, 直是侮辱了自己的品德人格.

Today I air-mailed two complaint letters to Canon Japan Headquarter, addressing to their President and their marketing committee chief.  Let"s wait and see the outcome!

Please don"t hesitate to send them letters to give more pressure to Canon Hong Kong.
