Excellent observation. Thank you!
I'll second that.
I know when I go, my photography - poor as it is - will be my only memorial. Already some of my earlier shots are taking on historic significance, purely because they are of things and people now gone. As time goes on, everybody's shots will have cultural value to someone.
I object strongly to some untrained dweeb in a K-Mart suit telling me what I can and cannot photograph in a public place!
Back in the olden days of film, you could use this to your advantage. At Fry's Electronics, if they caught you taking pictures in the store they would demand your film, and they would have it developed and printed at their expense and then return to you all photos and negatives, except those taken in the store.
What some people started doing was to have a fully exposed roll of film in the camera, and then pretend to take photos until they were caught, then willingly surrender the film to them for free processing. I don't know how they do it now with digital.
When my son was younger I used to take along my camera when I walked him to school and I would take photos of cars that failed to stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk. On two occasions I had drivers get extremely upset about this and demand that I delete the photos. One followed me home and rang my bell.
