This may be a sensitive issue with some. Being a reformed and
recovered alcoholic, I just want to make the public aware of the dangers
of Operating a camera drunk!
I think in the USA in some states it's against the law to "Drink and shoot".
I don't know how many peoples portraits have have ruined by irresponsible
photographers who have no regard for way people look.
Getting behind the lens drunk is the #1 cause of rejections on all major stock sites.
It has ruined countless images, that would have otherwise had a chance to be downloaded.
I believe in some Arab countries the penalty for drinking and shooting is chopping off the forefinger,
so you can never click a shutter again.
I shutter to think of all the family photos I ruined of my kids because of my drinking
in the past. I would wake up the next day look at the photos and say "never again".
Now I have to live with these photos everyday of my life.
For me the answer was giving up the drink, but if you must drink, say at a party or a wedding,
give the camera to a friend, get a designated photographer.
Drink responsibly.
