I am delighted we are still allowed to take photos more or less freely as I think of myself a real David Bailey!
.But sometimes we have to think.
last year I was in Covent Garden to take pictures of the market for a project.
There was a fantastic hat stall so I started to take pics from a distance at first but as Igot nearer I could see the lady was troubled (scowling at me) so I asked if it was o.k. and she said no she didn't want people copying her designs. I explained myself away and she was ok about it but to be fair I showed her that I had deleted them all. Happy all around then!
I was foolish not to think it out beforehand
