[MR] Cameras at KASF

[Rich Z]

I hate that my first post here is one like this, but...Particularly section
10.1.3

-Gymir

For the purposes of furthering education...

>From the Atlantian Great Book of Law (http://law.atlantia.sca.org/Law.html):

*10.1   Concerning Non-Period Items*

  *10.1.1*   Canned beverages and other obvious modern items are
  forbidden at all Kingdom-level events. The one exception is that they are
  permitted within a pavilion with the owner's express permission. In this
  case, those who bring the cans or other items are responsible for their
  timely and discreet disposal.

  *10.1.2*   Smoking is forbidden in the central area of a Society
  event. The central area of an event is defined as any area where people
must
  be present in order to participate in the event, such as the hall where a
  feast is taking place, or the lists and the area surrounding them during a
  tournament. The autocrat shall define the boundaries of the central area
and
  the autocrat shall, if possible, provide some other area as convenient as
  may be found where smoking is permitted and made safe and practicable.
  Smoking is permitted in the interior of pavilion/home only with the
express
  permission of the owner of the pavilion/home.

  *10.1.3*   The use of flash bulbs is forbidden in the central area of
  a Society event, being defined as any area where people must be present in
  order to participate in the event, such as the hall where a feast or court
  is taking place. The autocrat shall be responsible for defining the
  boundaries of the central area and should be consulted before any
  photography using flash bulbs takes place. Photography with flash bulbs is
  permitted in the interior of a pavilion only with the owner's permission,
  but only if this use of a flash bulb will not disturb anyone in the main
  area of an event. It is hoped that anyone taking photographs at any time
  will first obtain permission from those being photographed as a matter of
  courtesy.
