My position, with Right or not, is to respect the people and I understand too that posting such pictures I?m not infringing private rights, as many of you have said, a different thing would be if I use the pictures for business, this is not my case. I thank you your suggestions about your different experiences, I normally do this but that day I was with some foreign friends, what is very usual in my life in Barcelona going as a guide for friends who are coming to Barcelona, and I don?t did. Thank you for encouraging me Tina, Mark and others to do a supplementary effort on these ones, I will try to do it. I have my own rules too, I completely avoid photograph poor persons, I?ve took some pictures of these situations in the past but I don?t do it any more. Also I?ve keep without showing many pictures from the 90?s of children and persons, now I?m posting these, I understand that after almost 25 years there is no reason to hide these pictures. On the other hand I want point out that I think our World is everyday more crazy, I?ve watch two days ago on the TV the case of a young who took a picture to some young ladies ?se?oritas? in La Rambla , and he was fight by her boy friends?, you know I?ve shoot many se?oritas without problems? The idiosyncrasy of the people of every country counts a lot too, many years ago, in the 90?s many people could be happy that someone shoot a picture of them, even they was very usually asking to shoot them, actually this is completely different ? Thank you very much to all for your comments, I think it has been an interesting discussion.
