Thread Name: No photographs please
Subject: RE: No photographs please
I feel that as soon as I enter the public eye on any gig my privacy is gone. I am giving permission to be photographed by simply showing up. There is no way to step out of you house in modern society and be private. If you step onstage you are not only without privacy you are asking people to look at you. This means you are giving permission to be photgraphed, video taped, recorded by voice recorders, you name it. I understand people not liking it but that is just how it is. My cigarette pack takes up more space in my pocket than my voice recorder. I have friends that are almost to the point of paranoia over being recorded or filmed (although I can't think of any that worry about pics). That is just a part of the game to me. Not that I seek out people taping or snapping pics but I just know it is inevitable. I really have no problems with it at all. Actually I think it is really funny bc I have no clue as to why anyone would want to pics, videos, or recordings of me but... haha
