So – the intangible quality of good taste is part of the quality of the person; the ability to realize that quality in a photograph marks the photographer; and in the West, no one will object to being the subject of a good to great photograph.
Does that capture it?
FYI: When is it ok to take pictures in public?

(you’ll have to register to read the thread – the People photography section on fredmiranda requires registration).
It begins with photographer Jim Bennett reporting:
“Well I have just had my first experience being creepy photographer guy. Today I arrived at swim class at the local college with my wife, my 4 year old daughter & her two friends in tow. ”
Basically, other parents objected to their children being in his photographs of his daughter.
Ensues a fairly wide ranging discussion.
