Oh, of course. Of course. But the current condition of the instrument should include, to some extent, the environment in which it lives. Of course that is an extremely broad interpretation, and so it rubs up against my ethics. Again. Just the same... -- G • Geoff Sykes, RPT • 626-799-7545 • www.ivories52.com <http://www.ivories52.com/> -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of William Monroe Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 7:04 PM To: Pianotech List Subject: Re: The ethics of camera's Of the piano, of course, not the home..... William R. Monroe I'm not sure why it is an ethics dilemma for you Geoff. It is not uncommon in various trades to photograph your work or the items you work on, for various purposes. If for no other reason than documenting the current condition of the instrument, I'd think you would be clear to take whatever photos you feel necessary. My opinion. William R. Monroe 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? -- Geoff No virus found in this incoming message.
