Hippocratic Oath for Photographers, written in 1937 by a photography teacher tired of his students bringing him monkey see, monkey do.
That's cute. We were given a similar list of "you think these are original but they are not" before our first film project in college.
Why take an oath I've already broken a dozen ways and a hundred times?
I suggest substituting the word 'submit' for the word 'take'.
I'll take a picture of what I want.
So what were they allowed to photograph, and how long until their original ideas were met with the comment: a 5 year old could have taken that picture. Because cynics. ;)
This is how I swear when I take a pic:

A number of photographers prefer the term 'make' to 'take'.
I'll never be a douche on an internet forum when I really am in no place to even consider myself a photographer.
ronok, good for you but that never seems to stop many other people. ;)
The oath needs to be updated for selfies.
oxoxo! Your image is fantastic. I like it. I want to ask you related to photograh, some question in mind what kind to activity is photography? And why you not like to take photos of dogs and cats?
Yeah, Bruce, why you not like to photograph teh kittehs and teh puppehs?
I refuse to argue with a machine.

Yup, same here. My relatives should learn a thing or two from mannequins during weekend BBQs.
