Today’s NaBloPoMo Prompt: Have you ever asked someone to take a photo down? Tell us about the experience.
No, and I can’t imagine doing so, because that would mean some either too a picture of me without my knowing, which doesn’t happen very often, or while I was doing something embarrassing, which I wouldn’t care about, or while I was doing something criminal, which has never happened. Just about the only thing I can think of that would approach illegal in a context where cameras where expected would be smoking weed at a party. But marijuana is now legal in this state, and I don’t choose to partake, (since my wife can’t, as she works for the federal government) and besides, as I have said many times, I’m usually the one behind the camera.
I guess It might happen that someone in some way steals one of my photos and puts it someplace— but in that case I would just ask for attribution, not necessarily ask them to take it down. If someone was using one of my photos to promote a surly agenda, I guess then I might ask them to take it down. Or not, if I’m getting paid. I am shallow enough that just the the thought of getting paid for a photo I took is making me question my own morals.
A third example occurs to me, where I ask someone to take down a photo of someone else. Not sure if I’d bother. I think maybe I’m a little lackadaisical when it comes to this sort of thing.
