    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.

    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.
