Lots of good stuff in there. Well worth the 25 minutes.

You can read my notes from watching it the first time.

Taking photos in public

Thomas has an interesting take on taking photos of folks in public over on the nanolog — and specifically taking photos of the homeless.

I have no idea who the chap is in the pic nor do I have any thought as to why he considered it acceptable to photograph the Soup Van and the queue of folks waiting to be served.

I actually was quite blatant about taking the photo… but either he didn’t notice or didn’t care.

I found his behaviour rude and… if I am honest… rather dangerous.

We do not take photographs as a rule because we don’t want to put a barrier between us and the folks we serve… some of which would prefer not to have their photo taken.

He was rude because he didn’t ask… and he took a chance because he would have met with some strong opposition if he’d been spotted.

In hindsight… whilst I appreciate what he’s trying to do… it still seems wrong to me and probably explains why I prefer to take pictures of buildings or people I know. People need a choice….

People deserve the common courtesy to be asked whether or not they wish to have their photo taken. Not an easy task considering the number of folks present.
