You're an exhibitor... * Do you take it as a given (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.publish.photography, lugnet.general)

Wow, that's a lot of questions... (...) That's what happened last year, so I expect the same this year. (...) I'm bringing my work to Brickfest specifically to show it off. As such, I don't mind at all if people take pictures, whether I'm there or (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.publish.photography)

(...) Yes, yes. (it is an unreasonable expectation not to get pics taken of stuff, sharing ideas is part of being a fan!) (...) Yes, no, no. (...) Depends. With proper credit (or at least presented as "these are pics I took of creations") it's fine. (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.publish.photography)

(...) Yes and totally. I think it's very much par for the course for displayed pieces to be photographed. Anyone who wishes to be an exception to this might consider a little card or note by their display to reflect that. (...) Mildly flattering, (...)

(...) <snip> I don't mind people taking pictures of something I've built, I take that as a compliment. I'm not sure why anyone might want a picture of *me*, though... <grin> I think that most people who bring MOCs to a fest are doing it to 'show (...)

(...) Ideally I'd like to take 2-5 minutes. 10-20 minutes would be toward the extreme. The last thing I want to do is get in the way, so you shoo me away at any time if that happens -- my stuff is pretty portable. My lighting is just a pair of (...)

(...) Last year, there were plenty of times when the display rooms were quiet, and an involved photo-session would be unlikely to disturb anyone.
