I thought I would finally join a photography forum after what happened to me today. I'm 72 years old and have been taking photos since I was 14.
I have been taking photos of my granddaughter (age 8) at the public school she has gone to every Wednesday since she was 5. I bring her there and pick her up on that day which is my day to do it. I'll stand outside near my car and shoot her coming and going while she carries her bookbags, umbrella and have some great shots of her school experience. There is also a small open playground about 200 feet away which is part of the school where she goes if it's a nice day. I also bring along my 4 year old grandson and they will play in the park for about a half hour.
I was approached today by a teacher who has told me not to take pictures anymore because some parent complained.
So, my question is this. Do I have a right to photograph my granddaughter outside the school building that she attends?
Thanks in advance
Richard
