I seldom feel uncomfortable asking permission to take that kind of picture. But on the occasions where I am in someone's home and it's just so amazingly wonderful, (or hideous), that I can't help but want to share the experience with others, I feel very uncomfortable even asking to take photos. OK, I could go clandestine but that's where my ethics kick in. Especially since the camera in my phone is completely inadequate for the job. Does this ever happen to you? What do you do?</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=781344123-24092008></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=781344123-24092008>-- Geoff</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=300 border=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD><BR> <DIV style="BORDER-TOP: #fdd387 3px double; PADDING-LEFT: 14px; FONT-SIZE: 0.7em; PADDING-BOTTOM: 8px; COLOR: #794d37; PADDING-TOP: 8px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #fdd387 3px double; FONT-FAMILY: verdana; align: left">• <STRONG>Geoff Sykes, RPT</STRONG><BR>• <STRONG>626-799-7545</STRONG><BR>• <A href="http://www.ivories52.com/">www.ivories52.com</A> </DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> <DIV> </DIV> <P><FONT face=Arial size=2>No virus found in this outgoing message.<BR>Checked by AVG - http://www.avg.com<BR>Version: 8.0.169 / Virus Database: 270.7.1/1688 - Release Date: 9/24/2008 6:29 AM<BR></FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
