If parents don't want their kids photographed in public places they could dress them in little burkas.
They could make "Western burkas": like Spiderman or Star Wars for boys, Barbie or My Little Pony for the girls. One could do a Christian motif: cover it in crucifixes or maybe a beard and crown of thorns. Different religions could use their own symbology. Cover up your child and indoctrinate all at once! And think of the sports team licensing opportunities here! Your kid will look cool ~and~ be protected from photographers and other pesky predators. With the right marketing this could take off...

I don't photograph kids until I have a signed contract and the parents pay me a lot of money. But if I am in a public location, going about my own business, it is parents responsibility to keep their kids out of my way. It is *not* their right to tell me I can't engage in my lawful occupation because they cannot or will not control their spawn. I've had problems before where I was working, somebody's kid intruded into my frame & the parents hassled me about it. I really don't like that. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
