I kinda remember something to that several DLVs ago. But I'm not sure
that this was passed on the different person(s) creating the yearly name
tags or the registration people that needed to mark the name tags. Its
also another added cost even if its just for a colored marker or pen, to
colored stickers to a totally different colored name tag. I know the
idea using colored name tags is another discussed issue. Though its
related and a good tool to prevent certain photos from being taken, I
think Katie is talking about things in the past tense as in photos
already taken, and ready to be posted.

The difficulty is a person not wanting a photo to stay out of the way of
cameras for we have many photographers, from very expensive cameras to
those that come with a cell phone. Many will take pics and the person
being photoed may not know a pic has been taken or only finds out later.
One easy way it can happen is that person not wanting a pic taken may
have been just sitting, standing or walking in the background. I can
see being warned ahead of time in a posed pic setting. There is also
the peer pressure to be included in group when a pic is taken. Also not
everyone wears their name tags all the time at all DLV activities. If a
person doesn't want to be photoed, that person would have to be more
conscious and diligent about wearing the colored tag and staying out of
the view of all the cameras. Also the photographer may only be
concentrating on getting the pic of people, and can easily forget the
meaning of that colored tag or not consciously keeping that in the
forefront of choosing a photo shot, and goes ahead to take candid photos
of attendees not wanting to have a pic taken.

I can see Katie's view point. I'm sure there will be pics of a attendee
that they look really really femme as in the right lighting, angle, and
pose, and wants that pic to be posted. But because of someone else in
the pic somewhere, say in the background, that clearly shows the other
person in a bad pose, or another person in the photo decides she just
doesn't look good or in a bad angle, or simply that a person in that
photo doesn't want to be in that particular pic, decides to kill the
photo. The person who wants that photo is now denied. The person not
wanting the photo appears to have more rights over another person that
is also in the pic? Or if its a group shot, and one person in the
photo decides they really don't like how they look decides to kill it,
and the photo is removed even thought everyone else in the photo likes
what they see of themselves. I think Katie is trying to find better way
to resolve this issue.

One other area we have to consider is the person collecting the digital
photo data, posting the pics, and creating the staging area and the
final web page. It takes time to put this all together.

It will take a bit more work and much more time needed for this person
or people to post any pic if we add a disc and decision process for each
pic taken and submitted.

There are also potential for more issues when both sides are equal to
either keep or kill it. Who gives the final decision to keep or kill
it.

There are good reasons on both sides as in someone not wanting a photo,
and someone wanting a photo and both are in that photo.

How or what can it be done to fairly and equitable to everyone to having
photos on the webpages.
