What a lovely portrait! Does Mrs AFB know that you've posted it on here?
That's what I thought! LOL! Tsk, tsk.....
Seriously, though, at times I wonder when people here post images of strangers they've encountered somewhere or photos of their family members on the POTD or other threads whether or not they've gotten permission from the people depicted in the images, and/or if the subjects even realize that their photo (or perhaps one of their child) is going to appear on the wide-open internet.
MR, a web-based tech discussion forum (and one not with the same primary focus and intent as a social media site such as FB or a photo-oriented site such as Instagram), is pretty searchable via Google and other search engines.....
That depends if MR allows the search bots to crawl the threads and to what depth.
In this online digital age, as opposed to film days, people having a photo done of themselves are pretty savvy on the possibility of that image getting online. Of course there are exceptions based on the candid-ness of the image or mental makeup of the individuals being photographed

Haha, thanks! The kids always get some themed breakfast for holidays. Best part is it makes them actually eat it 😂
Nice indeed. I think it ended up being a pretty nice and rather prolonged color season in Colorado this year. It's hard to say if there was a "peak" but there was a lot of great stuff, certainly in pockets (some of those pockets were big).
What I love about this is the woman looking the other direction

this is the hotel where my husband and i spent our wedding night just over 21 years ago, although i have no idea what room we were in. this actually goes quite a bit more to the right, but i was trying to avoid cars in the photo.
For images taken in public in the usa, there is no expectation of privacy and no permission is needed unless it is for commercial use. And parents have ultimate say as to where their children's photos appear; I can't think of a single person I know who isn't aware of the risks and benefits of posting photos online.
I always ask my kids if I can post them because I want them to be in charge of their own digital footprint.

Always wondered what this little guy was. Finally looked him up, and found I also had a photo of his next self. I also found this little fuzzy guy is poisonous.

That’s what I do. If the subject is someone living that I know personally, I always ask permission. If it’s someone in the background or incidental in public, I don’t worry about it.
A couple of days ago I posted a photo of my grandmother and her sisters; they all passed years ago, so I just did it. I suppose I could have asked living cousins for permission.

(Pursuant to the conversation in the thread the last day, be assured I got her permission to post this photo, and still only did so after some serious consideration.)
