Sure! That's what the event is for. :-)

Absolutely, Not at all, Not really... Space on cameras is still limited,
after all.
> * How do you feel about pictures of your creations showing up online?
As long as the creations are credited to me, or at least not credited to
the photographer or the wrong person, I have no problem with that.

Not sure about that.

I'd probably consider it quite a complement, unless you were doing it
for every display. :-) Either way, it probably wouldn't bother me
much.

> * Are you camera-shy? Do you show it or hide it?
Not really. Mostly just ignore cameras, but not to the point of ruining
other people's pictures.
> * Does a nearby camera distract you? Does it invigorate you?
Irritate you?
Nope, mostly just ignore them, as above.
> * At what distance do you feel your "personal space" is being entered?
This would depend totally on the circumstances.

Candids I don't mind, but I hate being caught on film in one of those
posistions that normally only last for a split second, but when
stretched out into an eternity on film look rather strange.
> * Do you hate being asked to smile for the camera?
It only bothers me because I have to remember which muscles to tug on to
get something that isn't hideous.
> * Do you mind being photographed with a telephoto lens from 10-15 feet
away?
Depends. I'd rather not have a mug shot taken from such a distance, I
guess.
> * Am I being rude if I take your picture without asking you? If I did • this,
> and it upset you, would you let me know?
If it was just mainly of me, then I'd consider that rude. If part of a
group, or an activity and I am just in the picture, then I wouldn't
consider that rude. I'd let you know.
> * Do you enjoy participating in group photos? Large groups? Small
groups?
Doesn't matter.
> * How do you feel about pictures of you showing up online? Would you • want

Don't really mind, as long as the pictures aren't of the eternal odd
variety that I mentioned above.
N/A for the rest of these.
