Review; Officials See Slander in Uzbek Photos, but Artists See Censorship

     I think that this article is a really interesting article to read because I think of myself as somewhat of a photographer and this story just devastates me to see someone who enjoys the same thing as I do get in trouble for doing what she enjoys. My first impression when reading this article was one of shock and anger because I don't like to see someone who is expressing themselves get in trouble for it. I don't see the need for the trouble though in my opinion. I actually think that spending the countries money on something as ridiculous as that is crazy because I don't think that is the best thing to do when the state of your country is in such bad condition. I also find it funny that while the country was wasting money on a ridiculous trial like that, at the same time the trial itself could have prevented what it was protecting. I think that this is total violation of freedom of speech. Truly I think that even though the laws and regulations of the country may be different than ours that no matter where you live you should never go on trial for photographs that they take.
