Reluctant?

Can't see a problem with it personally.
People are bound to want to show their pride and joy off to the rest of the world and why not?
Like it has already been stated they will be seen hundreds of times a day by people in the street on ,cctv etc...
I will gladly do the same one day when i am lucky enough to become a mum!
 
I don't have a problem with it, its not that much different than putting your kids picture in the paper under the bonny baby competition or they could be online attending an event where there are photographers about...even on TV in the background...
 
Being on CCTV or TV in the background isn't exactly a problem as the focus isn't on the child. I was just wondering if anyone had any worries about it thats all.

Yes it was your pictures that made me think about it. Think you have one of your niece on the beach somewhere.
 
Have got to say, I sort of agree with Blazey here. Think its my job to protect my child from everything I can. When hes old enough to post his own pic, then thats up to him. Until then, I prefer to go on the side of caution.

Have got to say as well, if I had a street photographer take photos of my son, I wouldnt be happy. Could be any random wierdo taking photos (no offence!).

Yes its probably me being over protective, but would prefer that rather than anything else. Not having a go at anyone that does have their childrens photos anywhere, its just a case of personal preference i guess
 
can see concerns with the street photographer, any should/would have to display I.D. badges i reckon, its not Blackpool were theyhave em all down the prom fer tourists.
 
well i have to say that "street photography" is a genre of photography as a whole so when i say i do street photography i dont charge people in the street to have their photograph taken i take pictures of scenes that may convey emotion to the viewer
- it is the right of anybody with a camera to take a picture of anything they can see whilst stood on public land/property.

onlyme- i have morals - if i took a picture of you or your son or both together whilst on public land and you saw me and asked me to delete it then i would do so because i wouldnt want you to feel uncomfortable-however it is not the law that i have to

do people not enjoy looking at old photographs of accrington or their local town to see how much it has changed?
- when you see the people in them i am guessing that your first thought is not " oh gosh what an invasion of their privacy"
perhaps you think about what they may have been doing - going to work, about to do shopping, meeting other half for a romantic dinner, where they might be going.
street photogrpahy is not meant as a means to invade privacy it is mant to capture a moment in time that others may look at and have their curiosity raised.

yes i can fully understand that it can feel akward and you feel that people shouldnt have the right to do it but hey think of the joy that can be had from it.
 
agree with that description Keetah, the differance to me lies between scenes n just people. if ya get my drift.;)
 
oh yeah definitley - i do see what people mean
as i have said people often approach me and you can see in their body language that they are coming over to "have a go" but after looking at the picture i have that includes them they are often quite surprized and ask for a copy.
A family potrait is nice but a moment in time captured whilst you are unaware is priceless to most people.
then again if i was sat there zooming in on one person/child clicking away then i would expect a punch in the mouth and for my camera to be dropped in the nearest river lol
but i wouldnt do that lol so on that point i totally agree

That is a very good point Lisa. I do like looking at old photos, I hope my grand kids will be able to look at the old photos of now that you are taking. If you know what I mean.
 
no one seems to object when the paparazzi publish candid photos of some celebrity child, in fact the public lap them up like rabid dogs , seems to me anyone objecting to to their child being photo'd should ask themselves how many times they have looked at pics of Beckhams/Madonnas/ Brangelias kids ........and the answer .."well they are famous" is rubbish , the parents are famous not the kids
