A lot of good sense there Marion. I don't mind folks photographing or filming me, but I really do get pissed off when they treat me simply as a thing rather than a person. I play as a one man band and I really resent those who do not listen to a note I play, snap one picture of the exciting drum (God they must have dull lives!) and then disappear as if the thing on the other side of it which actually makes the noise - me - was just a stand for the bloody drum! I also loathe those people who are completely uninterested in what I'm doing and use me (unasked) as a prop to stand beside in their holiday snaps. I tell them very clearly what I think of their manners. Otherwise I'm in full agreement with your comments about an obligation to be friendly and courteous to the punters and other buskers. Alan.
