Some people get a special kind of psycho. Period. After one of the public dance events, my wife posted the photos of the people she took to facebook. As a part of the event, there was a dress-up, semi-formal sit-down dinner. Some guy (unknown before and after) contacted her asking to remove a

I don't think it is psycho of a parent to ask that photos of his or her children be taken down from a website - if they are reconizeable as individuals, certainly. had I been the photograpehr I would have respected the parents wishes as I would anyone whose photo I took who disliked it... at

As a matter of policy, we don't publish identifiable pictures of our children, or their names. They're not hidden very deep, someone aggressive and knowledgeable with search engines could dig it out. Partly because I'm a semi-public figure and reasonably paranoid. Partly because we believe

This reminds me of a story I saw recently about the early days of HIV/AIDS - some kid in Virginia was required to wear a bubble to school to protect the other kids. Today it is photographers who are dangerous and many want to put a bubble around us to protect themselves and their kids. I think

I agree with many of you that the concern about the kiddy porn stuff is a bit over the top... My point is that anyone whose photo has been taken should be asked if they mind being published if it is possible to do so and certainly if you take a photo straight on. And if you can get a models
