Photo etiquette
Hi! I had a lovely time at my first Arisia—thanks, everybody! A con report will show up on my journal shortly.
So, I spent most of Arisia with my camera tucked away in my hotel room, because I wasn't sure what the etiquette was for taking pictures at the con, and was shy about asking strangers if I could steal their souls. Now I find this LJ group, and I wish I'd been braver, since everyone is clamoring for pictures of themselves and their friends. :) What should I have done? Is someone who's unfamiliar to Arisians wandering around with a camera likely to be seen as sketchy, or as a valuable resource for future memories?
