[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 114513, member: 9240"] Not a lot to add here other than to cite a similar experience to ST016's when a bunch of us walked into my old high school swimming pool during a tour for our HS reunion and people started freaking when we were talking pictures of the empty end of the pool because kids were at [B][I]the other end[/I][/B]. The world's a sick place, and I can understand a parent's concern over photos of their child existing out there. But I'd be less concerned if I learned about it from a photographer that I'd met previously who was offering to give them to me than I would if I got an unsolicitied email trying to sell them to me. I don't shoot strangers very often, and if I do and make eye contact I'll give them a quick, "May I?", before squeezing the shutter. Strangers' kids demand that I make contact first and ask, and offer to send them copies - but I've only done that once. Not worth the hassle, even for a nice photo. Chalk this one up to experience. Just hoping the nanny didn't get fired for not stopping you. I suspect she at least got a tongue lashing that might make her wish she did. :-/ [/QUOTE]
