    Next time a tourist asks if they can take my picture I'm gonna just stick my hand out, palm up, and see what happens.

    I did that Ron, even asked for a dollar, but she just took the photo anyway. Is that a "breech of copyright",or maybe invasion of privacy?

    Well, that's when we need to get a stern look on our face and say, "Give me my camera." Its our camera once it has our image in it....

    Technically, I think here in the States that anyone can take anyone's picture in a public place.

    Around my neck of the woods the Navajos and Hopis would dispute that - particularly on their reservations.

    Boy...now you're getting into my territory....I love it when I get flack from people for photographing in public areas. The Grand-daddy legal case of all was one called Arrington v. The New York Times...if you want a good read, check that one out!

    Can we change the sign from "Your Picture on a Pony" to "Your Picture with a Kiltle?"

    Best

    If you ever question how rude some people with cameras can be, just visit Pennsylvania Dutch country. The Amish (for those not familiar, the Amish are a religious order who shun modern technology and live basically pre-20th century lives) in this area do not tolerate having their pictures taken due to the Biblical commandment about no graven images. All the tourist trap visitor centers make sure to tell everyone not to take pictures yet people will stop in the middle of the road to get out of their cars, cameras in hand, at the first site of an Amish farmer. How would they like it if people stopped and gawked while they were out mowing their yards.

    Jim, I'm sure that most kiltwearers sympathise with the Amish. They dress differently, so do we, but I'm flattered by people showing interest in my mode of dress, rather than being reclusive about it.

    They seem interesting people.
