Some Photography Etiquette

You learn as you go, I guess. As long as you still have your camera, your teeth and your money at the end of the lesson, then it was well worth it.

My friend Robert recently learned that you are not supposed to shoot pictures on a pier (as in Santa Monica), on a tripod without a permit.

I just found out that Carnival workers don't like you taking pictures of the teddy bears on their booths without permission. I was informed that it is proper etiquette to ask. At which point, the Carny, whose picture may be hanging in post offices throughout these United States, and whose foot is furiosly working to get the player at seat #3 the big teddy bear, can either approve or decline your request.

Seems the carni are a fussy group of people. Tips and kind words might go far. Or a longer lens!
