- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Perhaps people don't want other random people to have photographs of themselves or their children for who knows what reason. Why do you need photos of someone else's children? If you want to take photos of children, go have your own children and take all the photos you want.
That entire comment is ********. Photographers bark about their rights WHEN their rights are taken away, not the other way around. We don't take photos of people to make the assumption that their mothers think evil of us. The mothers just hide their children when they see us with a camera regardless if we're with our girlfriends or trying to take a picture of a bird in the tree.
If you don't believe that then maybe you should take a camera out and just walk past a local park one day. I have news for you if you want privacy stay in your home. You forfeit the right to privacy when you walk in a public place.
Oh and finally who cares if someone has a photo of you. Unless you're from a remote tribe in Mexico it's not like your camera can steal your soul or something. Again if you don't want a photo taken of you, ever, then stay at home. The whole "protect the children" debate got very old very quickly (again cameras don't steal your soul) just like the whole terrorism thing got old when mum was questioned why she needed 100kg of fertiliser (we have a big garden).
The topic isn't exclusively about photographers rights, it's about photographers prejudice.
