In THIS country it is ILLEGAL to exhibit a picture of ANYONE, regardless of
their culture, or the potentially spiritual site included, IF THEY HAVE NOT
GIVEN YOU A "MODEL'S RELEASE", IN WRITING. Period. Since that person is
basically helpless to prevent this from happening, ANY person of conscience
should inform this cognitively challenged dimwit that what they are doing
is morally wrong, in any country, and illegal in this country. You may
also inform her that it is NOT in the best interest of her "karma record" to
deliberately disregard the wishes of any culture, be it one she respects, or
otherwise .... since she was willing to risk the "wrath of God" by sneaking
a photo of these people from behind, and considers it a privilege to have
this immorally-obtained photo to enlarge in the first place, she either
(a) admires SOMETHING about their culture, or (b) gets a politically incorrect
thrill in deliberately breaking a trust/law/or whatever you wish to call it.
If I knew who to spell the words correctly, I'd teach you a zuni phrase to
mutter under your breath ....
