What do you do when youre accosted by a citizen?
Doug Swinskey wrote: Yeah. I think the idea is that the photos are in a public place. They really cannt stop you from taking their picture. What you can do with the images is limited but they cannt stop you. Like wise. If it is a public place, you cannt stop them from being there. So you think they have no business being there. So what. Who cares what you think, after all it is a public place. Getting someone to physically move them. Good luck with that. Hopefully no one will be a witness to the event. Common assult charge might come back and bite you on the ass. Yelling and screaming may make you look like an idiot or a retard, but it might work. Want them to move. Pay them off. I seen AD's do this on film sets when they are shooting on a public street or parks. Jun 19 06 08:22 pm Link How about sneezing and then telling them ... "it's ok, the docs can almost always cure the plaugue ... hey, I didn't get any on you did i?" Jun 19 06 09:02 pm Link In Maryland I had a guy follow us about 2 miles and he crossed the river to find us and wanted to know what was up. I told him this was not any of his concern and that he was not wanted here. He left but I have no idea if he did leave. He could of been watching us from behind some trees or stuff. But he was gone and we had no problems to speak of. bs Jun 19 06 09:23 pm Link Mike Walker wrote: I tried that in Calif. Her husband was beating a tree with a stick and the ranger walked up on her laying nude on the picnic table. We had to leave. So much for having that moron as a lookout. bs Jun 19 06 09:26 pm Link KatieK wrote: You mean Phil Klien hasn't tried banning that too..........yet?

LOL Jun 20 06 02:11 pm Link Only had 2 occasions where folks got curious (surprisingly both were railroad shoots).... 1) On a trip to Arizona, I was visiting with a friend and she agreed to pose for me on some train tracks at a railroad museum/park. We got out some rope so she could be the "damsel-in-distress" and when someone looked over at what we were doing, *she* yelled to them "We're professional artists at work!". I couldn't help but crack up. I didn't gag her for that shoot... ah well, next time maybe. 2) I was doing a railroad shoot with Alexus (non-MM model) and Tatiana (MM 24040) about 2 years ago when some horseback riders saw us doing the shoot. Tatiana was acting as lookout, while I was photographing Alexus. They saw what we were doing, shook their heads laughing and rode on... Better to not confront them. (Oh, and if you're shooting on train tracks, and someone says you're trespassing...they're right, you are...) Jun 20 06 06:58 pm Link |
