Hey, Mike.

“Japanese sari”?

Cheers to you and Jürgen, HB8

Thanks for the comment, J! It’s a fair enough point… our problem wasn’t that she asked us not to take pictures, but the way in which she yelled at us (as though we were thiefs looking to steal her designs or something).

And that about the missed marketing opportunity was tongue-in-cheek… we don’t really imagine that she’s crying over the fact about not appearing on our blog! Haha, but then again, free marketing is free marketing (after all, you read this post), and we would’ve linked to her site…

That stallholder had every right to ask you to stop taking pictures of her and her goods. Not everyone wants pictures of themselves taken by strangers and put up on the internet. And as for a missed marketing opportunity, who are you kidding?
