stickmakerI take lots of photos at F/SF conventions, and am almost always in the masquerade photo area. Costumes are fun on many levels, and I sometimes wear a hall costume, but mostly I just take pictures.
Occasionally, though, I encounter someone who Just Doesn't Get It. That is, they wear a colorful and/or revealing costume, something obviously not mundane clothing, but object to anyone taking their photo. I'm sorry, but you're attending a public event in a public area wearing something intended to attract attention to yourself. Not only is it reasonable to assume you _want_ people to take your photo, legally and morally you're fair game.
