possession



when taking pictures, I don't possess the persons I photograph. Normally, I ask their permission, even if it's only with a small gesture, I can feel if they agree that I picture them.
What surprises me is that guys often hang to each other when I want to take a photo of them; sometimes just casual, like the petrol boys, sometimes in a possessive way, like the clown and his boyfriend: the boyfriend clearly indicates that I can take the picture, but I cannot take the clown: the clown is his property :-)
