Why a collection of images? Consider Giles Duley's perspectives on how he uses photography to evoke a response from viewers in a respectful and effective manner:

Consideration of ethics is critical for success in this task. Although the following diagram relates to the Research Project, it applies to this assignment.
RESPECT FOR OTHER PEOPLE and PROTECTION FROM HARM are key. How can you portray poverty in our area while still demonstrating respect?

Consider this excerpt from the introduction to Mark Peel's Good Times, Hard Times: The past and the future in Elizabeth (Melbourne UP 1995, p. 3):
"Outside interpretations of this place have generally moved towards one pole or the other ... The town's image problem has a long history and is one of the most persistent complaints of Elizabeth's people. Nowadays, it is usually the negatives that win out. In Adelaide, 'Elizabeth' is a shorthand for difference and despair, a symbol of what lurks in the darker spaces of a city's life. In this language, Elizabeth is a 'poor place', which means victims and villains, those who can blame others and those who can only blame themselves."
"It wasn't always said, and it wasn't always easy to spot. Sometimes a glance, a tone of voice, the weight of other people's expectations, the teachers who couldn't look at us without disdain, the welfare workers, fortunately few in number, who were trying so hard to show pity that that forgot to show any respect." [my emphasis]
"Such words have always triggered resistance. Elizabeth's pride is invariably this most surprising discovery for the intrepid outsider. Because I grew up in the town, resistance is also my first impulse."
