Brushwood has a policy concerning the use of cameras. You may only
photograph someone if you have their consent, and anyone in violation can
have their film confiscated.

I do NOT give my consent.

So don't bitch if you find your camcorder tossed in the swamp.You've been
warned.

A very good policy.

Of course, I don't know WHY anyone would want YOUR stanky ass
fogging up their camera lenses, but I suppose you should make your
wishes known, for the sake of formality, if nothing else.

You think yer man enough to wrassle a CIA satellite into that swamp?
No matter; they probably have more snap shots of the top of your head
already than purple has psychological problems.

You oughta get a hat that says "FUCK YOU, CIA" written across the
top of it in glow-in-the-dark paint.

I was wondering since I'm such a big of yours before the Y2k scare if it was
okay if I found a picture of yours somewherees else and if I took a picture of
that and then cut the head off and put my face over your body then put it in a
Mars background and then submitted it to subsite.

Well, well, well. Threats already. Here is the law concerning camera
use:
You may have anyone on film you want as long as they're not the main
focus of the shot. Otherwise, no one would ever be able to film a
movie in NYC.

So, if you're up on stage, or something, and it's obviously that I'm
taping YOU, and you don't want to be in a film, you have the right to
request that your sexy visage not be edited into anything I use for
any purpose other than a home movie, which I have every right to as
long as you're in a public place (such as Brushwood).

You do not have the right to confiscate film.
You do not have the right to toss my $2000 camcorder in the swamp.
Even if you're a police officer, which you're not, you can't. The
fact that you probably aren't means I can claim assault, and still
beat the living shit out of you in defense, and still press charges.
You will not hear me "bitching" so don't worry yourself about that.

You've been warned. I can't afford another camcorder.

Someone showing up in the background of a taped shot is different from
a "photograph" taken from a still camera. Camera. Camcorder.
They're different.

Ah, almost forgot to mention this. You CAN be told to leave by Brushwood's
management (with whom I am very good pals), fucking up your XDAY weekend
and meaning that you face a LONG DRIVE HOME WITH NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT BUT
A LOVELY PICTURE OF ME.

Your move.

Happy Camper over there forgot that while he's perfectly correct (mostly,
close enough for this discussion) about the law on photography, Brushwood is
*private property.* If I want, I can have a rule that you can only take
pictures while holding your camera in your teeth, upside down, on my
property and if you don't comply I am within my rights to have you escorted
off it by baying and slavering minions of the law. And if somebody doesn't
want their picture taken, it is, quite frankly, rude to do so. We have a
whole planet of Pinks to vent our rudeness upon, venting it upon fellow
SubGeniuses should be saved for special occasions.

That being said, I am not particularly going to worry about background noise
(like you) in my shots. If you are so uptight about having your picture
taken, wear something distinctive (the aforementioned glow in the dark "Fuck
You, CIA" hat would be good, although it should really say "NRA," R for
Recon) so I know not to have you in my viewfinder.

I personally like to take pictures. I especially like to take pictures of
attractive females (which is redundant when talking of the SubG females I've
seen so far.) Anybody at public gatherings should be on notice that people
are going to take their picture, and that goes double for females and
anybody in their vicinity. Am I going to go up to said females and stick my
camera in their cleavage (*any* of the three majors?) Not unless they ask,
no. Am I going to stand there and click away for upwards of an hour so I can
build realistic 3-D models? Not unless I think I can get away with it, and
I'm really fairly smart, so I don't think that.

But, all in all, if you're in a public place, the onus is on *you* to tell
people *not* to put you in shots, not the other way around. You are welcome
to do so in as inventive and unpleasant way as you think you can get away
with: *I* won't take offense. "Don't point that camera at me, you miserable
bastard!" would be fine. And I'll do my best to remember what you look like
so I don't put you in any shots later. That's the offer, take it or leave
it.

Anyhoo, a *really* good photographer would just not be noticed, and then
there's no problem until the pictures show up in "Time." Too late then!

Correct. Brushwood is indeed private property.

Correct again, St.Marc, it is up to ME to tell folks that I don't want my
picture taken, and that's what I did. I encourage ALL of you to do the
same thing. This event has become one big tv show, where people follow you
around filming everything you do, recording your private conversations.
This event is supposed to be about HAVING FUN, not WATCHING OTHERS HAVE
FUN.

The kicker, for me, was when some dumb fuckers came into the poolhouse, and
decided to pose with a naked 11-year old girl with a whip. Personally, I
could care less WHAT folks do, but my nude wife was trying to get dressed
in the background of their potential felony evidence video.

The bottom line is this: I have certain wishes regarding my vacation that I
don't want violated, first of which is that I don't want some asshole
circulating a "look what Legume did to that poor drunk fuck" or a "look at
what that drunk fuck Legume did" video.

And as long as my wishes regarding this are respected, everything'll be
hunky-dory. Anyone who finds himself on my bad side because of this should
remember; I told them not to do it. And being in a remote forest with me
on your bad side can really ruin yer fuckin' day.

Okay folks, I got a little hot-headed. Sorry. Wrote the message when
I was tired and crabby. My head is back together.

I'm a bit defensive about my equipment which I have paid dearly to
own. I'm not the wealthiest of people, not even "middle class", so
when I pay more than $4000 on a film studio, I want it to work.
Losing my camera would be devastating. It would set me back years.

There was a statement made here that my camera would be thrown into a
swamp if I got Legume on film. Not cool. My response was not cool
either, but Legume's threat was not cool. Furthermore, his threat to
get me ejected off Brushwood property was ALSO not cool. And then, as
if that weren't enough, a challenge in the spirit of... bad spirit.
If you don't want it to happen, then don't ask for it just so you can
show me how powerful your connections are. Like we're at high noon or
something.

Well Legume, you win. The ridiculous macho button in my own head that
you set off is not enough to put my camera in jeopardy, or enough to
justify a possibly violent response when I lose it to your spoiled
attitude. I won't be bringing my camcorder to xxxxday. You have no
more fear of being photographed by me.

You are the Stark Fist of Removal.

I never said YOUR camera. My "threat" was that there'd be bad consequences
if you fucked with my slack. It's as much a threat as the "threat" dog shit
makes of ruining your shoe. As long as you don't step on it you have no
problem.

You're the one who wanted to play by the Pink "call the cops" rules. I can

When you threaten to have me arrested and beat the living shit out of me.
it's fucking well High Noon. You don't want to slap leather, stay out of
the street. And you ASKED for it. Next time you feel like saying "oh
yeah?" and threatening to beat the living shit out of me, keep yer fuckin'
trap shut, cuz I didn't get to be a nasty old bastard by backing down.

"Spoiled attitude". Requesting that my right to privacy be respected means
I have a "spoiled attitude".

In 1998, a drunk asshole at Brushwood threatened to throw my camera
into his campfire because I had accidentally videotaped him. I
apologized, and rewound the tape and recorded over that footage, and
showed it to his friends, who were very nice and apologetic. He
continued to threaten to destroy my camera. They explained to me that
he had a government job, and that it would be bad if he was shown to
be at Brushwood. (My footage consisted of him and his friends sitting
around a nondescript campfire, so small in the screen as to be
unrecognizable, that's all they were doing, just sitting there)

The punchline: The next day, at the Bobtism, he's at the pool, front
row and center, ogling the naked wimmin (or possibly the men). He was
captured on videotape by a dozen camcorders watching this spectacle of
nekkedity (but not by mine.)

I certainly don't want to destroy anyone's Slack by taping them
against their will, but you better get used to it. Cameras are
everywhere. The Conspiracy is in the process of recording our every
move, to prove us guilty of crimes that used to go unseen. (Just look
what the cops are doing with cameras in England and Brazil.)

The only way to avoid getting taped doing criminal or embarrassing
things is to not do them. (But then they will just computer animate
you doing them anyway.)

By the way, this thead is stealing my slack.

If that's what I wanted I could have stayed in New Orleans for the weekend,
and hung out on Bourbon Street with its Tittycam Commandos.

I see your point, Legume.

I'm not even bringing my goddamn camera on the outside chance that Legume's
visage should make an unplanned appearance in my view finder. Not that I'm
worried about loss of equipment or a beating. Hell, if I wanted a beating I'd
pay Legume more than the value of a camera for the honor of a wailing by him.
It's just that I respect people wishes when they request, no matter how flaky
their justification may be, no photos. Hell, I even did it for Joni Mitchell
and I bet she couldn't kick my ass if I was drunk and on quaaludes.

You say all this as if it would actually apply in practice, though.

All I can add to this discussion is that I know that Brushwood and ACE
have indeed confiscated film/tape from guests who tried to secretly
videotape the nekkid bonfire stuff. (I have one of these tapes myself!)
No one ended up complaining, because the individuals who were taping
against rules were right wind Christian nuts who had SNUCK IN and
wanted to warn the world of the terrible devilish activities that
happened there. Like, you know, dancing, and building fires, and
playing music.

Jesus and ACE and the cops booted out a "pagan" who was photographing
young girls and boys in a bad way, at Starwood.

I personally have gotten in the face of X-day attendees who I thought
were getting too in-everybody-else's-faces.

But, I have taped and web-strewn more nekkid people pics from Brushwood
than just about anybody. Even the pagans let me do it because they
trust me... I'm like their Jane Goodall, they let me live among them.

No one, however, will let you shit in their hot tub.

What the FUCK are you thinking? That normal rules apply here at ALL??
Yonderboy, think THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

"Whatever." This isn't about intelligence, it's about sense -- common
sense, sense of humor and... god damn it, I always forget that other
kind.

I wouldn't go to Brushwood and parade around like a toy dictator
hollering crazy sounding shit if I didn't expect my picture to be
taken. Dr. Legume on the other hand is planning to get SLACK this
mighty weekend and I don't blame him for warning off snoops in advance.

It's EASY to tell which ladies WANT their picture taken and strewn
internetward, and which ones PROBABLY DON'T. The former PRANCE a heck
of a lot more and GRIN at cameramen and other FROGWATCHERS.

This is exactly what I mean by common sense.

I should mention that the main state trooper who comes around a couple
of times a day is also part of this fascist power-clique that includes
the owners, tractor drivers, and lumberjacks of Brushwood, Dr. Legume,
Prof. Chas Smith, me, Jesus, and the dummy of "Bob." The Love and
Freedom Essence that is Brushwood is strictly enforced. You must be
saved, even if it kills you.

I almost typed, "You must be Daved." Man. Too much "show".

There're probably perverts out there jacking off right now just to the
THOUGHT of that, and hoping to maybe get pictures of it if they come to
Brushwood.

Brother Legume, your restraint amazes me. My response to unsolicited
pohotograpy is as follows:

"You have a choice; I can shove that instrument down your throat, or up your
ass. Which will it be?"

(Ok, ok, fine, first offense I'll just expose the film or run a cow magnet
over the tape/disk.)

It *is* an invasion of privacy, and it doesn't have to be tolerated.

But - you're always surrounded by lots of Yeti females - that's
who everyone is *really* trying to take pictures of. Hrm...

Listen man, I fucking well understand now what all this camera crap is
all about. I now understand your point.

People are assholes out there. But that doesn't mean you have to be
one.

From what I'm seeing, assholes trying to get comprimising pictures on
film are just as bad as the assholes threatening to break cameras for
no good reason.

If you specified target former asshole, you would never have received
my message. But you didn't, and look to me (from your original
message) like target latter asshole.

If you're not, just fucking say so. And that's all.

"No good reason". Right from jump street I said "No pictures" and I fucking
well don't owe anyone an explanation why.

You don't have to worry one little bit about the latter asshole as long as
you aren't the former. The best way to avoid a two-asshole collision is to
not be one.
