There is something about a camera wielder that rattles some people's nerves. A few years ago when my grandson was entering his first day in kindergarten , I brought my camera to document the once in a lifetime event. I decided to just take one of my power shots so I could just melt into the woodwork and be as invisible as i could. The school principal was on me Immediately advising me not to photograph because some parents may not like the fact that their child may be caught in my photos. Understandable, I suppose (not really) in the new normal wacky world we have created for ourselves these days. The real kicker to this story is the 30 some odd parents photographing with their phones that were not confronted. Phone good-camera bad.

Yup, completely irrational.

Even my own sister asked that I not post pics of her kids on the web due to security reasons, even though everything is completely anonymous. Then she turns around and posts a continuous play by play of everything they are doing in real-time on F@cebook for the entire world to see, with no anonymity at all.

Go figure.
