so sad to miss it.
so many of my peps were among that crowd.
justin July 30, 2008 at 4:11 pm: You did, indeed miss a good one. Andrew Bird inspired me.
Rob July 31, 2008 at 12:09 pm: Nice shots… do you get releases for that sort of thing?… just curious since some people are looking directly at the camera… ?
justin July 31, 2008 at 1:39 pm: Hi Rob. Releases are required any time you use an image for a commercial purpose if the subject is recognizable. Doesn’t matter if they are looking at the camera or not. But I’m not using these images for commercial purposes (as in, selling a product). So a release is not required and I didn’t get one.

Yesterday, however, a friend saw this and asked me how I know if people care if I take their picture. I told him that if they ask me not to, I won’t. I will always respect another person’s space. But I’m going to first assume they don’t care. I’ll take the picture first. If they don’t want me to continue, they’ll have to let me know. The reason why I don’t think that seems pushy is because I’m not exploiting these folks. I’m not going to do anything with these images other than show them here.

Sarah August 3, 2008 at 6:01 pm: This is such a great idea, Justin! You have quite a collection
