Church fires photog over Scalia picture: Freelancer pays for ‘right thing’

A freelance photographer has been fired by the Archdiocese of Boston’s newspaper for releasing a picture of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia making a controversial gesture in the Cathedral of the Holy Cross on Sunday.
Peter Smith, who had freelanced for The Pilot newspaper for a decade, lost the job yesterday after the Herald ran his photo on its front page. Smith said he has no regrets about releasing it.
“I did the right thing. I did the ethical thing,” said Smith, 51, an assistant photojournalism professor at Boston University.
Smith snapped the photo of Scalia flicking his hand under his chin after a Herald reporter asked the conservative jurist his response to people who question his impartiality on matters of church and state.
Smith wouldn’t give up the photo earlier this week but chose to release it when he learned Scalia said his gesture had been incorrectly characterized by the Herald. Smith, who was standing in front of the judge, said the Herald “got the story right.”

Who would expect such behavior from the son of a good italian Catholic fascist(see A. Desrhowitz quote) family. Yeah, who am I kidding? Like Vince Bugliosi, said:

"Having Justice Antonin Scalia speak on ethics is like having a prostitute speak on sexual abstinence"
.

This obviously extends to decorum, manners, taste......
