I have a question for those who are Muslim and/or more familiar with Islam.
  I understand that modesty is an important issue for Muslim women (that is also true for some Buddhist sects as well- I am Buddhist).  Are there any caveats about taking pictures of Muslim women especially if any of their body parts are exposed for breastfeeding if they are wearing chador or other clothing?
   
  I know us Westerners are pretty quick to take pictures of everyone doing just about everything.  We have kind of a "National Geographic" approach to picture taking of people from other cultures.
   
  I would think it would be more sensitive to use photos that have the permission of the person whose picture has been taken before using it for a conference talk or presentation.  In the Western world,  these days we ask for releases before photos are taken for clinical or teaching uses.  I think this is important for any photos we may be utilizing.
   
  Just as we cite sources for copyright and acknowledgement reasons, I think we should be equally respectful of those photo subjects that we use.
   
  Just a few thoughts,
