No need to get all emotional about this. <BR/><BR/>The picture of the woman by the train needs permission for example.<BR/>The one of the shop with people who are not easily recognizable, does not need permission.<BR/><BR/>I still feel that photographing people without them knowing, lacks of respect for their privacy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20197130.post-31376067007633764092008-02-21T07:18:00.000-08:002008-02-21T07:18:00.000-08:00Look.

If you think that you can own the rights to the light waves that bounce off of you then maybe you should not leave your home. No, I am not going to ask 500 people in a crowded market if I can record them walking by. That would be stupid, and impossible. By token that a person is in a public space means that they can be looked at as well as photographed. If I take a close up photo of someone and obstruct them in some way, I ask permission. But the permission that I am requesting is to stand in front of them and stick a camera in their face, and not if I can take their picture.<BR/><BR/>Also, if someone makes their living selling to tourist, then they will be photographed. It is part of the job.<BR/><BR/>So if you don't like being 'public property' then maybe you should not go into public places.<BR/><BR/>I would not walk into your home to photograph you.<BR/><BR/>WadeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12215470102452157039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20197130.post-55752239375994082672008-02-20T14:37:00.000-08:002008-02-20T14:37:00.000-08:00Nice pictures; but I wonder if you ask people for ...Nice pictures; but I wonder if you ask people for their permission before taking pictures of them. Most tourists don't. I hate it big time when tourists take pictures of people in the market, while bargaining, or chatting or so... We are not public property. What I hate even more, is when they video tape it.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's just me, though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
