This is a beautiful photo. Tell me, do people in Japan mind having their photos taken? It seems kind of dicey proposition where I live...

Thanks very much =)

It depends on the situation really. Meiji Shrine, where this was taken, is one of the most touristy spots in Tokyo, so you have to expect hundreds of foreigners to take pictures of you if you have a traditional wedding there. Japan is much more lax then the US of course, for example you can take photos in any public place (airports, shopping centers, train stations, etc).

I couldn't in this situation, but usually when I take pics of people I try to ask for their permission before hand and I"ve never really run into a problem.
Oops, sorry, I thought it was a different pic you commented on :slow:

The same situation applies here, the monks take a vow of silence so he couldn't really protest much though =)
He he... I've done that. :) Thanks for the feedback. I usually ask before I photograph too, and meet with some resistance. However, I've had good luck when asking for models to work on say, a natural light study.
