> Everyone, me more than most, doesn’t want their picture taken, or to be in the background of other photos.

I used to be a little into photography. No one ever protested about me taking a picture of them. Just recently I was photographing an event and thought: I just come there, take photos of everyone, upload them to the internet, and all I get is thanks. I haven't asked anyone for permission. Yes I was invited by the event organizer, but I'm sure they didn't ask permission either.



Normally, somwhere in the long dense legalese they "agree" to when spectators buy tickets to the event, is a release for photography.


This event had no tickets.
