Les Bonnes Choses

Not to be confused with pointing an laughing, which is something in which my pretty sister Carolyn specialises, I am writing about photography. I have participated in a couple of scavenger hunts -- one for Nick and Alex, and one for Kevin -- that involved photography in a public place. I stumbled across a website (after stumbling across another website) that addresses the confusion and often incorrect set of beliefs that many people have concerning photography in public places. I think the laws are well summed up with the rule of thumb that, if you are in a public place (or private property with public access) then you are allowed to snap away unless instructed otherwise (e.g., by a sign, or by the property owner). It is also worth nothing that tasteful nudes are generally illegal in these places, even without explicit signage.

(why is the word 'tasteful' always applied to describe nudes?)
