<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On this topic, but slightly off topic. 10 years
ago I was doing a lot of flying and would take up photographers from time to
time. I got the idea to shoot some of the more interesting homes belonging to
my clients, then approach them with the idea of selling some of these photos.
BAD IDEA!! Not only were they not interested in the photos, they were upset
with me taking pictures of their property. Lesson learned.</FONT></DIV>

sigh -) Ethics, in my mind, is tantamount to winning a customers trust and
to establishing ones existence to both friends and customers as trustworthy.
So... I was called to tune a 9' Yamaha CF in a customers home studio
yesterday. The room was HUGE! From where I was sitting at the piano a
couldn't throw a basketball and hit the pool table at the other end of the
room. Two stories to the ceiling, with a balcony set up for
vocals, deeply recessed skylights and a walk-in fireplace that was as
big as my living room. AND the acoustics of this room were simply
extraordinary. Since my personal ethics prevent me from just whipping out my
camera and taking a couple of quick shots when the customer is out of the
room, how else can I document this experience, if for no other reason than
to add to the category of vacation photos, for my own
enjoyment?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I ask permission to take pictures of piano
stuff while I'm working. I don't take pictures of people's
belongings or houses--except once, when the person had a special interior
door that I thought would work well in my own house. Perhaps your
ethics are kicking in because it's not really appropriate to be taking
pictures of your customers' houses & things. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=781344123-24092008>Every once
in a while I find myself working on a piano that for one reason or
another I want to visually share with others. 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>
