We should charge for photos
I was onsite, seeing a client at their motel units today, when a newly arrived group of residents from Queensland walked past. One lady had a camera and insisted on photographing "the workman in a kilt".
Now when did that ever happen BK? (before kilts)
She then turned to my client standing there and asked where his kilt was...he made a lame excuse about not being Scottish. In fact he is from New Zealand, which has a rich Scottish heritage, but this lass gave me the opening I needed to tell him he didn't need to be Scottish to wear a kilt.
Life is never dull in a kilt!

Kilts just enhance my lack of being dull. It goes with my fun loving nature.

Next time a tourist asks if they can take my picture I'm gonna just stick my hand out, palm up, and see what happens.

I did that Ron, even asked for a dollar, but she just took the photo anyway. Is that a "breech of copyright",or maybe invasion of privacy?

Well, that's when we need to get a stern look on our face and say, "Give me my camera." Its our camera once it has our image in it....
Technically, I think here in the States that anyone can take anyone's picture in a public place.
Around my neck of the woods the Navajos and Hopis would dispute that - particularly on their reservations.

Boy...now you're getting into my territory....I love it when I get flack from people for photographing in public areas. The Grand-daddy legal case of all was one called Arrington v. The New York Times...if you want a good read, check that one out!
Can we change the sign from "Your Picture on a Pony" to "Your Picture with a Kiltle?"

I was once taking pix of a woman selling flowers under a 'no soliciting' sign at a post office in South Carolina. She got uppity, screamed at me "how dare I take pictures of her". I walked up to her drill instructor close and told her she was on in a place, I was using a normal lens and that I could take her photo anytime I wanted. I then looked at the sign, asked if she would like me to go in to the postmaster and have her removed.Walking away my exwife absolutely freaked.
