Technology's a wonderful thing, but privacy is better still. Besides, it gets back to the original topic: Should be people be allowed to use their cameras FREELY at nude beaches? I'm not one for passing a law against it (since laws often cause as many unintended problems as they solve), but I think the same principle applies as it does anywhere -- namely, ask someone's permission before you take their picture. That's the courtesy I expect whether I have my clothes on or not.

I think it's plausible that anyone, anywhere, in any place can have their picture taken, modified, and sent around the world for billion's of people to see.
Kevin has been nice enough to post a couple of really bad photo's of me, and if someone is disturbed enough to spread them anywhere, well, they're sick in 'da head to begin with, and I'll keep my finger's crossed that they have a rather large bank account!

That is scarey FireProf. It means they are affordable and within reach of everyone.

One unintended positive consequence of high camera availability and ease of photograph distribution is that any politician who has ever visited a nude beach or resort, or even just skinny dipped at home, knows that if they ever support closing down nude facilities, pictures of them may turn up. True nudists would never "expose" a politician just to catch him out, but are quite likely to do so to expose hypocrocy.

Exposing the hypocrisy wouldn't be a bad thing, but it would also continue the myth that nudism, or nudity in general, is something to be ashamed of and hidden away. I wouldn't be in favor of blackmailing people into acceptance of nudism. ;)

Two wrongs don't make a right Bilby, and your right, I would rather see people accept nudism for what it is and not be coereced into accepting it.

Although I do not condone blackmailing in any way, I know that pictures of British politicians nude or topless on European beaches have reached the press after they have made stands against nude beaches back home. They weren't being blackmailed into accepting nudism, as they already practiced; they were being "blackmailed" into sticking to their own beliefs, rather than pandering to supporters or party position. The risk of being caught out is worse to a politician than holding a possibly less popular position.
[Off topic]This reminds me of Larry Niven's version of Dante's Inferno where the protagonist encounters two arguing politicians buried neck deep in one of the Circles of Hell. One believed that building up a nuclear arsenal would prevent nuclear war, and the other believed disarmament would prevent war; however, both voted against their conscience following their respective party's line. Neither of them understood why they were both there.[/Off topic]

I know what you mean David, I remember reading a London tabloid where the crown was opposed to nudity on Brishish beaches. On the next page there was a picture of "Furgy" sun bathing topless on a beach.

I don't think Fergie ever represented the feeling of the royal family or the British government.

You should be able to relax and enjoy yourself without thinking, will I be on someone's web site. There is way to much tension, anxiety in the world today. Everyone needs to be able to go somewhere, where they can relax and enjoy life. Life is too short.

I always thought that the proper protocal for nude picture taking at the beach would be to ask permisssion of the subjects.

I noticed the rule at the - - resort in Florida is that you may only carry camera or take pictures when accompanied by a manager.

That sounds reasonable David. The way law suits are going these days, its better to be safe than sorry.

That was my thought. People will feel more comfortable knowing pictures will only be taken under supervision - it avoids trying to spell out complex rules, and catch people bending or breaking them.
Cheers!

Should I bring a camera to a nude beach?
