Bad Taste vs Profitability (Creating burning skylines)

Notre Dame in flames, what's next? A research in London fire security systems.
Sold!
Here is an editor's opinion: we execute it the best possible way with any skills and fantasy we can put the given time. Use whatever you have or you can think of and you can create it. People might judge if composition is well framed, elements are in a natural order, color matching, even the physics, is it possible the wheel to fall this way? Is it even possible to set Jerusalem on fire? who? Why? Perhaps you must add some solders shooting the arsonists! :P I remember an image of yours in your blog, a drone in an airport, photoshopped i think. Well, the axis of the drone vs of the landscape image was not... You know... "So what?" You don't care as long as the final (possible) customer is willing to pay for it. As long as almost everything exist in photos and videos shot from any possible angle, a creative manipupation of existing images sounds a nice idea. In fact, that sounds as an excellent idea!

Seems like the consensus here is that:
"If you build it, I'll destroy it" ;D

Can you have a consensus with only four comments? My comment was about perspective, we all have one and the lines look different to everybody.

Catastrophic images of fire, flood, earthquakes, climate change...think of all the images with New York drowning in thew sea etc...of course, why not.
Anyone who wants to discuss risk factors will need images for the discussion.
I really see no problem with that.
It is not like you are endorsing disasters, you are offering materiaL to help prevent them.
And some people will use it for raves and parties as well...let'ts burn down the house with our groove kind of event. Why not??
We all watch fantasy stories, play cruel computer games and people still now it is fiction.
StanRohrer:
Put up some of your "benign" or "less controversial" work and maybe people will contact you for commissioned images for their projects. Perhaps you would feel better suited for fiction use as opposed to political commentary. You would have more control with a commissioned work than just anybody that could by from a stock agency. If your work is controversial, then commissioned work is against the project and maybe not so much your personal boundaries.
