The ethics of cameras

[Barbara Richmond]

MessageI ask permission to take pictures of piano stuff while I'm working.  I don't take pictures of people's belongings or houses--except once, when the person had a special interior door that I thought would work well in my own house.  Perhaps your ethics are kicking in because it's not really appropriate to be taking pictures of your customers' houses & things.  

Just my opinion...

  Greetings all --

  Every once in a while I find myself working on a piano that for one reason or another I want to visually share with others. I seldom feel uncomfortable asking permission to take that kind of picture. But on the occasions where I am in someone's home and it's just so amazingly wonderful, (or hideous), that I can't help but want to share the experience with others, I feel very uncomfortable even asking to take photos. OK, I could go clandestine but that's where my ethics kick in. Especially since the camera in my phone is completely inadequate for the job. Does this ever happen to you? What do you do?
