Jayto | No photographs please (59* d) | RE: No photographs please | 23 Jul 10 |
Fine. haha I really don't have a problem with it at all. I mean I really don't expect any privacy anytime I play in public. I would get mad if someone walked in my living room and snapped a shot without asking or something to that nature but if I am out in public playing or talking in a public setting I do not expect privacy. In my opinion I am opening myself up to it by opening myself up to the public. I am not saying anyone is wrong for seeing it differently but to me if I play out in front of people then I am waiving any ounce of privacy I may want to preserve. If I don't want pics of my family I don't take them. If I don't want to be photographed I don't go. I get magazines (music and social indie magazines) all the time and open them to find pics of me that I never knew were taken. Some of them I am playing music and other times they are more private pics of me and my fiancee just hanging out talking to people or listening to a band. One pic in particular I was drinking a beer on the side walk smoking a cigarette and hanging with a friend from NYC I hadn't seen in a while. Why? Who knows but to some people they think it is cool just to see it I guess. Stardom and all that does not appeal to me at all and I am FAR FAR from that but I know that if people appreciate what you do they are going to do those type of things. I know by playing alot of gigs and being really active in the music scene and art scene in general you are going to give up a certain amount of privacy. That is just part of it in modern society. I can understand other peoples frustration and opposition to it but there is really little you can do about it. There are plenty of times I wished noone had photographed me. There have been times I have been furious bc of it. Really it was over my mood at the time of the pic or something like that though. I was not mad the pic was shot it was bc I was having a horrible night or was in a horrible mood or something and would rather forget about the whole night instead of sitting there looking at it all over again. For the most part though I have no problem with it at all. |
