[MR] Cameras at KASF

[Baron Otto]

I didn't have an issue with folks taking photographs of the various
displays throughout the day at KASF. I don't mind seeing the cameras at
events, and I feel that most people use them with courtesy and
consideration for others.

What did bother me was the photographer that was walking back and forth
in front of the stage during evening court. I found this to be quite
annoying and felt he was being discourteous to the rest of us sitting in
court.

I also had an issue with the flash photography that happened during
court. It’s not like we were in a dimly lit room where they would
actually need the flash.

(I should have responded before KASF, but was rather busy with
preparations) :)

At most events, I'm completely in agreement that cameras use should be
minimized and photographers be non-intrusive. And between use, cameras
should be concealed.  We have a little linen bag for our camera, and try
to keep it in a chest between uses.

However, events such as KASF are a different case, however. KASF is a
show - essentially a "behind-the-scenes" trades fair. We are there to
display skills in a very non-period manner, putting out documentation,
discussing research sources and techniques, and sharing craft secrets in
a way that would certainly outrage medieval Guildmasters. It's about
education and sharing, and as such, I openly welcomed and encouraged
people taking pictures of what's in my display as a way to share what
I've been doing.

I am ok with photography and video of events, especially if the
photographer/videographer asks permission if it is something close-up
and in great detail.  I would very much prefer for folks to take more
care to disguise their cameras' blatant modern appearance.  I thought
that it was Kingdom Law to hide everything modern.
