Drinking Blue Moon high strength Beer on YouTube

[Lysippus]

Hi Rob, I watched Thursday's photo edit from the beginning as I was late for the live version. I think Photography should be about photography and not be side tracked with a product placement for Blue Moon beer.

You may, in all innocence have not noticed this aspect of the video edit. It's an issue that is important to me as I got into photography late in life, and I am doing my best to encourage my family to take up photography, and watch channels like yours. The next generation is vital for the continuance of photography.

As some one who is a volunteer hospital chaplain, I see the effects that alcohol has on families when ever I visit A&E. As a school governor I am dismayed at the problems children have in respect of parents with an alcohol dependency. Enjoying a beer is for the restaurant, pub or home. People viewing in the chat room can joke about their exploits, beer making, or what ever else they want to, but please set a standard for yourself in your channel for everyone's benefit. A past alcoholic is only one drink away from relapse, don't encourage him or her to take the next one.

Keep up the good work talking about photography which is what you do best.

Thanks. You make an excellent point. It really didn't even occur to me. I appreciate the feedback.
