...I think that if you stand on a festival stage or in front of a booth or perform on the street, then you must expect that people will want to photograph you....

Yes, and cell pix abound. That is why we went from requiring a release before ANY shot was taken to a policy that "public figgers" (handily they are wearing vestments) are fair game unless they state otherwise.

How they tell us? They don't make a face when the camera comes out. Cuz if they did we wouldn't click THAT shot-- it would be useless. Now for you musos-- I'd love a shot of Seamus glaring, but he's a nice guy, so I'd ask first. :~)

What is really reveling is when one becomes a victim of one's own policy. I liked our policy fine-- till they showed up to take MY picture. Th policy morphed a bit after I had to walk in their shoes! :~) But then a good policy is always in draft form.
