Great reflection Norma!

Regarding your question "I too wonder if it was being photographed that made him look so grumpy. I have not photographed people unless it was in a crowd or my family because I was not sure about legally being able to publish people's images unless I had permission. Is that something about which I should be concerned or not?"

I'm pretty sure it was the sunlight shining in his eyes that made him look grumpy. As far as I know it's perfectly legal to photograph people in public places. That said I'm pretty stealthy when I do street photography because I'd rather avoid confrontation and I'm always looking for candid moments.

Oh, as for publishing the photos. The way I understand it is, if you publish them for artistic,cultural or news purposes (books,blogs,artwork,magazines,newspapers etc) no permission is needed. However you would need a release form if you wanted to use someone's photo for an advertising campaign or other commercial ventures.

The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
