But this is changing, as there are now newspapers and magazines which thrive through paparazzi photographs. But what I especially dislike is the way ordinary newspapers are starting to go the same way.Juha Haatajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361255734892508254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-72543595842583781982012-02-08T08:47:33.319+02:002012-02-08T08:47:33.319+02:00An interesting self-analysis!
It seems there are ...An interesting self-analysis!<br /><br />It seems there are some real differences when it comes to privacy expectations of photography in different countries. One could generalize about europeans being more private, but then we would have to account for the fact that Britain has more surveillance cameras per capita than any other country, or that France is almost the birthplace of street photography with cartier bresson, etc.<br /><br />Are there paparazzi in Finland? Is it allowed? It is distasteful, of course, but I am wondering about the legality of street photography there.Eric Jeschkehttp://redskiesatnight.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-1753409551362090642012-02-08T00:00:18.133+02:002012-02-08T00:00:18.133+02:00Juha, you certainly have qualities as a storytelle...Juha, you certainly have qualities as a storyteller. There is not much I could object after having followed your reasoning. <br /><br />I, too, am glad that I don't have to sell, and in a similar way I don't want to fuel that kind of industry, Also I take the idea of privacy seriously, especially the protection from abuse of all that belongs in this sphere, being it data about behaviour or - images.<br /><br />Oh yes, and I wholeheartedly agree to your injection about ad blockers - same disaster here in the office, where I would have it blocked for everybody for mere economical reasons - just imagine the amount of time wasted only for clicking away those ads popping up.Markus Springhttp://markus-spring.infonoreply@blogger.com
