Can I take your picture in a public space? A picture of your kids? Your kids in their bathing suits at the pool? Everyone draws the line, and at a different point. It's not boolean.
- EvanAnderson 5y agoIt absolutely is boolean for some people. If I'm in a public space w/o an expectation of privacy you have every right to photograph me. Same goes for my daughter, bathing-suit or street-clothes. I value the right of others to make photos in public spaces and I recognize that it applies to me as a subject.
- aeternum 5y agoI'm still not convinced it's boolean. How about pictures taken from a public space like the street or sidewalk into your house or yard, how about pictures like this: https://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/arne-svenson-the-neighbors-190516 https://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/arne-svenson-the-neighb... What about if a neighbor decided to take pics of your daughter walking to school every day? What if that neighbor starts a blog?
- watwut 5y agoUpskirt photos are typically done at public places.

- macintux 5y agoWould you be ok with a drone someone programs to follow you every time you’re in public, taking photographs and recording everything you do? An extreme example, but I suspect there are very few people for whom this is a Boolean issue.
- agentdrtran 5y agoThis stops being street photography then.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 5y agoThat’s a separate topic and beside the point. It’s not a question of rights. I want everyone to have the right to say all sorts of shit that I also think it’s immoral for them to say.
- nickthegreek 5y agoI am pro public photography but it is never boolean. Everyone has a limit. Maybe your bend over to pick something up and they photograph your breasts or they continually follow you with a camera in your face for blocks. At some point a line can be crossed for even the most open minded.
- lovelyviking 5y ago>Maybe your bend over to pick something up and they photograph your breasts In that case wasn't it your choice if you wear something like that in public perfectly knowing that you can "bend over" and thus who can say it wasn't your intention to show what you show. What it has to do with photographer who simply makes a picture of what you show in public by your own design in that example? >or they continually follow you with a camera in your face for blocks. If someone continually follow you may be the 'follow' is the problem, not the photography part? I mean if someone continually follow you for blocks without camera could it be worse? At least photographer presumably does it for pictures only and simply due to the poor skills didn't succeed with the first 10 tries. Again what it has to do with the photography by itself ? So may be it is boolean? You are in public and that means someone have right to make pictures of what public looks like. Or you have other examples?
- stackedinserter 5y agoI don't think you'd be ok with someone that would come to your house every morning to take pictures of your daughter that goes to school. You'll call police on day two if that happened.
- dsego 5y agoBecause it's stalking?
- EvanAnderson 5y agoIt's interesting that the incredulous replies to my comment have to resort to describing contrived situations that go beyond simple candid photography in public to harassment or other illegal acts to "prove" I can't possibly feel how I do. There's this pervasive attitude in the comments for this article that having your photo taken in public is some major affront. I see people equating it with assault, even. That feels very "Internet tough guy" to me. I feel like I've made the "Internet tough guys" unhappy by not falling in line behind them. They simply can't conceive that I wouldn't be "outraged" at the same things they are. That, too, "outrages" them, apparently.
- stackedinserter 5y agoYou didn't make anybody unhappy. You can say whatever you want in the Internet, nobody will bother to verify even if you post your home address here. We all know that you'd be freaked out, as regular person, if someone started intentionally making pictures of you or your daughter (if you have one).
