Many of you know that I play in a band that performs at renaissance fairs around the country.
I don't mind folks taking our pictures. If fact we have gotten some very nice photos taken by fans...along with many that are unremarkable. Since we are being paid to perform in a public venue and we are featured performers, we know we will be photographed.
About the only time I was really bothered was when a guy with a high end amateur video camera walked up on stage during a song and moved across the stage videoing each of us from about 1/2 meter away, then moved off to the stairs on the other side. If I hadn't been mid-song, I would have given him something to chew on...self-indulgent jerk.
I also had to weigh the options of stopping the show to tell him off vs. making the interuption as short as possible by not reacting.
Most are not that stupid.
FYI I was a photographer for many years, so I know how it feels to be on both ends of the lens.
