Depends on the show. Generally I'd prefer this not to be done at a show.

No; don't go out of my way to show or hide it.

No, no, no (unless someones taking ages to get one shot).

Never really thought about it.

Generally ok; no; no; no; yes

No, i generally try to anyway.

not unless i'm in a compromising position 8?)

Probably, but at shows I generally don't mind, so I probably wouldn't say
anything.

yes, yes, yes

ok, long as its not in bad taste; no

in small groups, yes

When speaking, I prefer to have a photo session before or after, rather than
during.

N/A- never organised one!

What do you consider proper etiquette for taking photos at an event like BrickFest? I love taking pictures -- but I can get kinda trigger-happy. Please share your thoughts on the questions below! You're an exhibitor... * Do you take it as a given (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.publish.photography, lugnet.general)
