<p dir="ltr">Something I had hoped to have organised at lca2014 and may work for future conferences is a clear concept of "photography free zones" in one of the back corners of lecture theatres. Though the problem of expanding this concept into other conference areas is segregation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Whilst I think the concept of having additional different coloured lanyards to depict additional information like individuals photography preferences is a nice way to let people know you don't want close up photos, I think standing in a large crowd wearing a lanyard that conveyed I didn't want to be included even in large crowd shots would be disconsiderate of the many in our community who enjoy photography.<br>

</div>I try to take a photo of you both. Mr Introvert says "please don't".<br>
Mr Extrovert says "please do". Are you telling me you can't suggest a<br>
compromise that everyone would likely find acceptable?<br><div><div><br></div></div></blockquote><div>With respect:</div><div>Extrovert != OK to take my Pic.</div><div>Introvert != Not OK to take my pic.</div>

<div>For any policy/rule/friendly agreement to work, it needs to be able to be policed and devices like GG (which lets face is probably only the start) make that really hard for organisers...</div><div><br></div><div>If given a choice, I would not like to be photographed but ... what choice do any of us have these days in that regard? </div>
