I’m willing to give that a try. In Chicago that could yield some entertaining results. I might take a crack at this tomorrow. Only thing is posting other people’s faces online. That could be a problem. I assume consent must be given.

It may not matter much all masked up.

Tony you just have to do this! Down at the mirror-egg downtown it would be a natural!

Ps: Sorry about the prior post in the wrong thread

Interesting color. Looks a bit burgundy to me in the outside light. Is it Shinki seal?

handymike · Dec 1, 2020

This is Shinki Seal, but hand dyed by John Chapman to be darker, you're correct that in the sun there is a lot of burgundy/cordovan tones in it. In other lighting it appears brown. It is a really nice color that has grown on me since I've owned mine.

I think it's funny how you always manage to relate other people's posts to yourself.

Shit yeeaah. ..Peter is a fellow Scottish contact of mine y'see.
I can't think what may be "funny" though ?

Yikes! At least you guys aren't all on fire again?

No, thankfully. Surely there's nothing left to burn, it was all destroyed 10-14 months ago.

Well folks here's a HUGE departure from the norm for me on the Lounge.
St Andrews night down my local pub tonight , traditional Scottish fayre.
Wee lassies Highland dancing , and a live Pipe band in the pub.
My jacket choice for tonight was purchased from this very forum classifieds ( thanks Tweedydon !)
Anderson Tartan I seem to remember from the time.

That looks great G Man! I inherited my father's love of the pipes, not that I had much choice - I grew up living next to Scots, and two of my best friends over the years are Scottish! I would've thoroughly enjoyed that evening, looks like you sure did!

In the US and the UK you don't need people consent to post their faces online.
There is no expectation of privacy in public places, if they didn'twant their pics taken they should have stayed at home...

Same for countries within the European Union.
An example of a non-public place where consent is required is at a rock concert.

Not really, in Belgium you cannot take pictures of people without their consent.
It's ok if they are part of a crowd, but they cannot be the main point of interrest of the picture.
Same in France.

In the US and UK you can just walk to someone and take a picture of them.
This isn't legal in Belgium or France:

NYC:

London:

I stand corrected. I Googled it. Since the introduction of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in may 2018, a photo in which someone is shown recognizable is considered 'personal data' and is thus protected under the rule of the GDPR law.
This European regulation must be applied in its entirety across the EU and therefore overrules country legislation.

Huh, I didn't know that either but that is an excellent law!

That's also why Facebook has to ask European users for their consent for using their facial recognition software on (random) photos.

Personally i think it is a bit sad, it kinda kills street photography.
I spent years doing this and now that i am back in Belgium i can't legally do it anymore...

I can see that, but I think the benefits of having such a law outweigh the disadvantages. There are countries where people's faces are scanned on the street and the data goes into the government's surveillance system.

Anyway, you could of course still take photos on the street and ask people for their consent afterwards. But I can see how that takes all the fun out of it.
