You, Your Camera and Your Loved one’s…

Sometimes its quite hard to make the right decision because it is never the most easiest. Decisions which are complicated and the ones that are never easy and will never make you feel nice. These decisions must be made for your own good and for others since it affects each of you in a different way.

I decided to bring this topic up here today since i’ve been wanting to speak on this for quite a while. Photography is something that i cherish a lot and taking pictures of people is the most fascinating and interesting for the people person that i am.

Many a times people do not like to be photographed. For example a few friends of mine and some of my cousins do not like to be photographed all the time, whilst all i want to do in life is click. The camera is an area of concern to some of them when we are together.

I respect that, i feel the same too. For example, I certainly would not like to be photographed when im eating. Similarly can others feel. Its hard to do this because the camera i have has a long zoom and i can steal shots without flash in available light (and yes i’ve done that a few times successfully and i stopped doing it) and the mind is evil. It wants to do what it loves the most.

I remember someone in flickr requesting permission from me to post a picture of vidya’s on a blog to talk about call center stress. I refused it and forwarded the email i sent to that person to vidya and she was happy. I was glad that she was glad, i believe that at the end of the day and ounce of understanding and empathy as to treating someone else like how you would like to be treated yourself goes a very long way in any relationship.

I decided to Blog this picture, im not really into blogging much and i do it occasionally. This picture talked of similar things and my good friend on flickr richard wanderman brought this up on his stream. I thought i might well discuss it here since there cant be a better opportunity to bring this up.

Thanks to richard, for the picture and the message.

  • I agree Dilip, this is an important part of the social process of photography. Glad you like my image and glad you’re considering this stuff.
