victor: many of you know that I take photographs as a hobby. often, i would take my camera wherever I go just to make sure i dont miss a good photo opportunity. i think my camera has followed me from long hikes over the italian riveria to the gas station down the street. well I was wondering what everyone thought about photo ettiquete (sp?). have you encountered places where you were really annoyed that someone was taking photographs and whether you think it is rude that photographers take pictures of people without their consent (either as subjects or backgrounds)? often photographers say that as long as the subject dosnt openly protest you are ok to take a photo. i always have to question myself whenever i take my camera out but i just cant seem to stop taking photographs.   ¶ 1:37 PM
