What’s wrong with sneaking a picture of a woman eating while she sits quietly on the train? Even if you don’t know the woman, and she has no idea that her photo will be uploaded to a website devoted to displaying similar images. These women are in a public space, shouldn’t they be prepared to be fair game for anyone to use as they please?
Reading the above, you may well be puzzled that the internet could reach such a bizarre new low. Alas, a UK man calling himself an artist has gained notoriety for his website that specialises in allowing anyone to upload pictures they’ve snapped of unsuspecting women who just happen to be having a bite to eat on London’s public transport. Needless to say, many of the comments are a bit yucky, with some venturing into creepy and downright offensive. As Daily Life writer Caroline Zielinski puts it, “taking pictures of unsuspecting women not only violates personal privacy, but also places power directly in the hands of the photographer who, by posting the images online, derives pleasure from demeaning his (let’s face it – it’s probably a guy) subject in a largely anonymous space”.
Caroline is our guest for the Liberation Conversation on this edition of Saturday Magazine. And later in the program, co-host Sammi Whitehead chats with Celtic Thunder’s Neil Byrne about the Irish wonder-group’s upcoming Australian tour.
