Subject: Photos

Ok.. i know this has been discussed but I didn't pay attention at the time. I just put a poll up on the homepage of Ire. dance, and most of the votes are saying new photos in the Galleries.

I'd love to ut more pics up.. I am out of my ban now and will be competing again very soon, so would be able to take loads of pictures (plus I am interested in photography so would love to do this). But there is this whole thing about photos on the internet.

But what i don't get, and think is pretty disgusting in terms of attitude, is that a non-daner who takes photos of dancers get smashed for it, yet a dancer who has photos on their site doesn't.. even though some of the dancers in the photos did not give their permission or even know the photo was taken(i know there are pics on my site with other dancers in them who did not know the photos were being taken).

And the photography companies.. not everyone knows that those photos are going to go on the internet. Whatis the difference between Photo Flair putting up a results picture of the British Nationals, and my doing the same?

So what do I do? Would I have to ask the permission of every dancer I took a photo of? Before or after the photos was taken? I have a digital camera.. so people would be able to look at the photos and approve the actual shot if they wanted.

I know that I am not really sure of that idea.. i mean, I'd feel really self-conscious going up saying "hi, I'm jess and I run Ireland's Dance, a website. Would you mind if I put up this photo of you as part of a photo gallery of this competition?.

grr, I hate all the nitty gritty involved with websites sometimes!!!
