The moment David tapped the white circle on his phone, he knew he had made a mistake. He didn’t take picture of people, at least not without asking first. Groaning, he tapped the trash can to delete the photo. Then, with his head down, he proceeded down the path.
“What are you doing?” A voice said, it was the woman who he just accidentally photographed speaking. David frowned, confused. “I saw you,” she continued, “you took a photo of me, why?”
“Sorry,” David apologized, “I didn’t mean to. The photo’s already been deleted.” Without another word, David took off running.

He was running scared! She must have been intimidating. But then, perhaps he rescued the photo from the recycle bin anyway! Great story.

I think he’s embarrassed because he’s never done it. I’m the same way when I do street photography and accidentally capture people in my photos.

I know what you mean but that landscape is changing fast. Some ignore and some get really angry. They is always the erase bitton on photo editing apps for these purposes.

I once had a lady street vendor swipe my camera away, almost damaged the camera, just because I tried to take a picture of her food cart. So, yeah, some people really don’t like having their picture taken.

Oh my goodness, that sounds like a very aggressive food vendor. I did notice on my recent trip to Japan, for the first time there were signs on many street stalls, NO Recording, NO Photos. I have visited Japan five times and this is the first time there has been objections. Japanese used to be known as the superclickers here, they used to take more photos than any other tourists visiting Australia. The tables have now turned.

I think for food vendors, when they see you taking pictures of them, they think you’re the competition there to steal their trade secret. I’ve been told once of this paranoia. If there are signs of “No recording” and “no photos”, then I’ll obey the rules.

I agree, Yinglan. Especially in a foreign country, you would be most impolite and slightly crazy not to follow their requests.

Well, that’s unnerving. I wouldn’t want someone taking a pic of me without my knowledge,

Or perhaps she has a good reason or not wanting her photo taken.
