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.

maybe a little if they are distracting.

I think 10 minutes is a bit excessive. 2 min would be OK

I don't particularly like having my picture taken but have learned to deal.

It can be distracting especially to others if I am talking to them and they
start preening for the camera. (which I do too!!)

I'm American so somewhere around 18-24 inches unlike europeans..

Prefer candids. I tighten up and start posing (not because I want to) so
catch me by surprise I guess.
> * Do you hate being asked to smile for the camera?
Yes. Don't like my smile.
> * Do you mind being photographed with a telephoto lens from 10-15 feet away?
Prefer it.

No. (part of Brickfest!) If it did upset me (which it won't) you can be sure
I'd let you know.

Not really.

Don't like it. Prefer to reject but have to trust.

Yes. Get a camera that doesn't need them! But they are part of the territory
too.

Side.

N/A.
