As we are not them. so why speak like we are them? People have taken to very quickly saying "no photos" as if they have a right to do that. They don't. Don't respect that right which they do not have. They've gotten to think they have that right. I will say I avoid taking pix of kids like the plague as the law and common essence has nothing to do with it. I try to stick with far off and backs of heads. But never have I ever stopped taking pictures of anything when asked not to like that. When asked not to I shot faster and more. It just pisses me off. Sometimes I say "sorry lady I'd rather be home watching television." click click. Its just that on many occasions I've had a deadline and no time to worry about peoples delusions of grandeur. Then on times when I'm just shooting for my body of work I remember those times.
