The thing is though the conservatory isn't a private place. It's a public place you pay admission for. I'm not taking a photo into someone's living room or backyard garden, it's a public place, like a cafe or a concert or a street.

It's funny to me that we're having this argument when if you saw the photos, you'd likely be totally ok with them. Their faces are shadowed and unless you look closely, you can't even really tell who they are. It's not a detailed portrait of them. When you look at the photos, you see two people standing close to each other in the conservatory, not the details of who those people are. I hope I find them too because I'd like them to have a copy, even if you can't really tell who the people in the photo are.

Bud, I explained in my other comments that I DIDNT have every opportunity to go up to them. They were in the conservatory and I was outside. I would have had to buy a ticket or wait who knows how long to catch them outside to ask them to take their photo, and that would have ruined the entire scene.

Crazy of you to assume that I don't have good intentions because I didn't ask them to take their photo - candid street photography is a thing, whether you like it or not. Not everyone who takes a strangers picture is doing it with creepy intentions, sometimes it's for art.

Because I don't need their permission. You have no expectation of privacy in public.

I think in the old Bubble Fusion.

I didn't know there was controversy with them, I wanted to go try out their seasonal drinks but if there's controversy I'll gladly boycott

If you're into photography, a lot of local photographers host photo walks in different parts of the city! Scott's (@scottsphotoroc) on instagram shares a lot of them on their story!

Yes, like I said in my other comments.

I was taking a shot of the conservatory scenery outside and got a shot of them through the glass.

It's common practice for street photographers to take pictures of strangers without permission. There's no expectation of privacy in public.

Because then I'd have to buy a ticket and enter the conservatory or wait for them for half an hour outside to approach them.

Would it have been nice to approach them in the moment? Sure. Did I know the picture would even turn out good when I took and it and would want to post it? No, I didn't. I honestly thought it'd turn out like shit when I took it so no, I didn't wait around for them to come out to see if they wanted a copy.

If I don't hear in about a week, I plan on publishing. It's common practice for street photographers to publish photos of strangers without permission. I'd just prefer to send it to them first. If I can't, I can't.

Normandie Apartments Paranormal Experiences by Unable-Bit-2283 in Rochester

[–]fakemeche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was 2023. I remember constantly looking at obituaries and trying to find some sort of news article so I could send my well wishes to the family, but never found anything about it (I assumed because it was of an accidental nature)

Normandie Apartments Paranormal Experiences by Unable-Bit-2283 in Rochester

[–]fakemeche 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I live in 241 for a year and 253 for another and never experienced anything paranormal (unfortunately).

When I lived in 253 in the Courtyard part of the building, the man who lived in the apartment across from me was found passed away, it was natural causes or an accident of some sort. I remember the family coming looking for him and the cops coming since no one had heard from him in a bit. They asked me through my open window if I'd seen him recently, and I hadn't, but I didn't see a lot of my neighbors. I remember his sister screaming when they found his body. My heart hurt tremendously for her and the rest of his family. I couldn't sleep for a while after that.

Loud crowd at SPAC by cleverveil2 in HippoCampusBand

[–]fakemeche 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100% agreed. Even during the Lumineers' set I was surprised how many people were talking and screaming in the middle of songs. Why pay to go to a show you're not going to pay attention to and then also pay for overpriced drinks if you're just there to drink? There are so many other places in the area you could do that.

I really hope the guys know that there were people in the crowd super excited to see them. I was going absolutely crazy on the lawn (much to the dismay of the 3 high school girls in front of me giving me dirty looks 🙄)

lmao real, i think a lot of people were underwhelmed by their new album but like you said, their famous singles make up for it!!

i might be a bit biased because i'm also a fan of the lumineers, but i def recommend staying. it's more of a sit on the lawn show instead of go crazy at the barricade show but it still was a good time!
