The article Who Says You Can't Do That? Crime Scene Photography: Capturing the Scene, presented in a review by Meghan Bond was very interesting and well written. Meghan does a good job of explaining to the reader what the job of the photographer is and how significant it is. She also gives details in explaining what kind of things the photgrapher must do. For example, the photographer must have field notes and diagrams that match up to the still pictures.  Meghan also does a good job of emphasizing the importance of crime scene photos in court cases because visual evidence is vital. I also commend her on using a direct quote from the article, it gives the reader of the review more of a detailed understanding of what the article was about. Although the review was excellent there were some things that she could have added to make it better.

            Perhaps if Meghan could have gone into detail on how the photographs are presented in court. I think that this would have interested the reader by giving some background information on the court process of presenting visual evidence. I also think that this review of the article could have been better if she added some sort of conclusion. In this conclusion she could once again state the significant factors of the article so that the reader could finish the article with a complete understanding of photography in crime scenes.

            I was impressed by this review because it was thorough and well written. I also learned about the way photographers go about a taking pictures in a crime scene. For example, how they are supposed to depict what happened at the scene instead of photographing everything even the extras. Before reading this article I did not realize how important crime scene photographers were to a court case
