Today we were going to take pictures of our grandchild at a school
award program , and we were informed that some new rules are in
effect
and NO pictures could be taken at any school functions anymore,
unless
we had permission from all the other parents.

It is a growing trend, and it is grows from two prime concerns:

* Some children have had legal or custodial parents/guardians specify
that
all images and data be restricted from public access--all parents (in the
U.S. to start) have this option, and they specify their prefences on a
data-release waiver form--the most pertinent rationale being that some
children are being sheltered from non-custodial parents who might learn
where to find them; although this is an extceedingly spurious
possibility,
parents have the right to demand that their children be protected from
this
very rare possibility;

* Some cultures and/or religions do not condone the appearance of their
children (or adults, for that matter) in any kind of celebratory or
performance-related way.

There are other concerns about school district liability in the case of
images that become public without parental authorization (and other
fine-points of liability concern that may be an over-reaction), but the
whole matter is such a sticky wicket (and school districts are so eager to
avoid any lawsuits or other legal ramifications) that it is simpler,
simply,
to forbid it.

Lets see, if you take a picture of a scenic Downtown area, you are
questioned as if you were a terrorist, if you take any pictures around or
inside a school, your a pervert. If this keeps going someday you will need
papers to walk down the street, Freedom gone.

I can understand all of that. There are a great many pervs about.

So the entire nation is to be considered a bunch of pervs???
Go out and purchase a sense of perspective.

cause a GAS Station to blow up, Black mold is going to kill you, Lead paint
inside of some 50 plus year old houses is going to kill you. Asbestos in 40

All a bunch of Bull ****.

Total horse**** -- read up on it before shooting from the lip.

If you like to eat the walls, sure.

It was hard enough for asbestos workers in daily contact with
large volumes of the dust to make their claim. Yes, it was dangerous
for them at those levels and they should be compensated for their
resulting health problems. If your total exposure consists of walking
by a little of the stuff, you're not going to keel over from it.

I live in the UK, a guest American here, you might say. In the musical
recitals here, it is custom to NOT make videotapes or use still cameras
during the performances. If you want a tape, you hope the teacher is going
to make one by having someone come in, and you can buy a copy. Reason -
because they have over the years found it (all the cameras) distracting to
the people watching the performance, maybe to the performers, too.


Come on -- this is a school recital, not the London Symphony
at $250 a seat. The attendees are mostly parents and other relatives.
It's expected that everyone will want their own ideal picture of their
kids in action. Personally, in such an environment, I'd not like to be
told I should worry that the other parents around me are pervs. Nopr
should they think that I am.

actually a photographer could use this to their advantage. Find parents to
announce to the other parents that you will shooting and making the images
available.

Lead paint is a serious problem, it was basically a bucket of powered lead
suspended in the oil, it dried and left a coating of metal behind, you rub
your hands on the window sill, kids do so more so, put their mouth on the
edge, get a small but significant dose. But the cell phone thing didn't
work, but they haven't banned them either.

Lead paint WAS a modest problem. There are trace amounts of lead left in the
paint when it dries, and kids CHEW on the damned windowsills to get a dose that
affects them, and is nearly harmless to adults. Adults usually picked i tup in
the workplace, maybe making the paint, or welding, or in similar ways.

Lead paint was banned in '78, but still remains on many old structures. Some
paint removal methods can create a health hazard and pass the hazard on to
other areas (windblown paint dust).

Be glad you're not an ancient Roman: their aqueducts fed into lead piping. In
fact, much plumbingware was lead or lead line until fairly recently in history.

No, but the neighbors might if they see you in the yard hunched over the
begonias, with tripod, camera, remote release and all kinds of reflector cards.
