Together Apart by Canon Image Challenge

While most people are coming together for a good time, there are often some people standing apart. I had to Google the organization on this flag.

She saw me taking photographs of the crowds, and specifically asked me to take a shot of her. I got the impression that she wanted as much attention as she could get. Most of the rest of the crowd was ignoring her. She is very keen to publicize this particular cause. In general, though, people in public places have no expectation of privacy, and you don't need permission to post pictures of them (unless you're doing it for commercial purposes). Whenever I take shots of individuals (as opposed to larger groups/crowds), I do ask for permission, and don't take the shot, if the individual doesn't want me to (which pretty much never happens).

Dave - I know that. My comment was meant that I would never shoot this particular shot myself - asking or not. Jim

It’s Alastair’s photo, Jim. Dave

Dave, Since I don't ask, I don't shoot. This hits at the heart of street photography for me. Jim

Dare I ask whether you requested her permission to post her image? Dave
