Photography hot take: The social norm of “you don’t walk in front of someone who’s taking a picture” should end.

In the days of film cameras, that norm made sense. Each photo with a film camera cost money, for the film and to develop it, so interrupting someone’s photo was actually harming them.

But in an era where photos are free and can be instantly retaken, it should be totally okay to walk through someone’s picture. All I’m costing you is one press of the shutter button.

As my quest to rebuild my library after the flood continues, I went to a wonderful library book sale this weekend, and came home with (I literally weighed this on the bathroom scale) 40 pounds of used books. A lot of them were on my “need this for the new library” list, and some of them were things I didn’t realize I needed in the new library until I saw them.

It was fun getting that bag through the MTA, believe me.
