Stranger snaps photo of me - WTF?

Questions:

  1. What were you wearing?
  2. Are you particularly attractive or shaplely?
  3. Have you ever been a Soviet Spy? (I know your too young but Governments make a lot of mistakes)

I propose you supply a photograph of yourself so we can provide better guesses. :wink:
One of your wonderful drawings would possibly work but in this case a Photo would be superior.

Oh my…well…

  1. Black Columbia jacket. Long black skirt. Big ass black moon boots.
  2. I personally don’t think so, but I suppose that would be a matter of opinion.
  3. If only my life was that intriguing…

This is the most recent, decent (somewhat flash-obscured) pic of me. Although today, shuffling across the ice in my Napoleon Dynamite-esque boots, I felt like I looked more like this.

Not if the prober is hot. :o :smiley:

Thanks :smiley:

that was last century - before digicams got popular

My vote is for a photographer working on his candid photo taking skills. It’s not an easy thing to do; the hardest thing in the world for me is to take someone’s picture without their permission or knowledge. The only times I’ve ever been able to muster up the courage was when I was in a moving car, and able to make a quick escape.

Actually, I think you’re quite attractive.

Hmmm…I think if you have a “model” per se, this would apply, but I’d like to see a legal cite that says if I’m taking pictures of people in my town square and I win a contest and a fat check, that I have any responsibility to the subject at all, either permission-wise or monetarily. I say no. There is no expectation of privacy and no agreement in place.

Anyone?

Once, I was taking BART back from an A’s game, and the guy across from me was working in a sketch book. After he got off the train, someone who had been sitting next to him told me that I was the subject of his sketch. Didn’t freak me out or anything, though I would have liked to have seen it.

Maybe he liked what you were wearing, and wanted to take a picture of it to a store to show a sales clerk what he was looking for, to buy for his SO. Just a WAG, but at least not a sinister one.

Maybe he was on his way to the drugstore and he had to finish off the roll. No problem, unless his friends all just died in a terrible accident.

I’m going to go with the Clothes and the Lady were interesting enough looking to snap a quick picture.

I just wanted to say that the phrase “fap to” is new to me and I found it quite amusing.

it was meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Thank you:)

Hmph. You can only take pictures of me outside if you buy me coffee. It’s damn cold out there. :stuck_out_tongue:

I remembered seeing this article via lifehacker.com, and looked it up for ya:

Your Rights as a Photographer. Lots of links and a reasonably coherent summary.

I wish the author had been a bit clearer about “standing in a corner,” but I guess it means that if someone has deliberately placed themselves out of the way, even in a public setting, you shouldn’t go peeping over their shoulder–which, really, is just common courtesy.

coffee?
mumble mumble

how about you step into my boudoir so we can take pictures of you?

…psst…that’s fancy french talk for “fuck bed”

you know what they say about common courtesy not being so common anymore…

snorts and giggles

Could you have offended the Fashion Police? If they use the photo, they’ll blot out your face with a black rectangle (unless you’re famous).

My guess really is that it was practice.

PS–don’t ask me how I know this.
