Last weekend I was doing pictures for a family. I took them to a spot just down the road from us that I have used many times before. As we were shooting I saw a woman walking towards us. I assumed she was being friendly and I greeted her with a cheerful, "Hello!" Her response was:
"So, did I miss you knocking on my door to ask permission to be in my field?"
Me: Stunned silence. I may have squeaked out an "Um....."
Lady: "So do you have permission to be in my field?"
Me: "No, we do not."
Lady: "So you are leaving now?"
Me: "Yes, we are leaving."
And we hightailed it out of there as soon as we could!! I was so stunned, flustered, embarrassed. It honestly never occurred to ask someone for permission to take pictures in their field. I understand if it is someone's house or yard. A field? How do I even know who a field belongs to? Guess I am a little too naive. And it also looks like I need to rethink some of my locations that I shoot at!
I took this picture just before the lady came. How cute are they??
