I laughed at this when I saw it yesterday. You would be surprised at the things you see being on the opposite side of a vendor/artist table. The thing that REALLY gets me is when people stand in front of your table or booth and block it from people trying to look at your stuff.

The taking pictures really bothers me. It's one thing for panels and costumes and such, but absolutely no photos of stuff that people are selling. I learned that from the quilt shop. Our owner was insane about not letting people take pictures and it was to protect us from people stealing our work. I had one lady ask me if she could take a picture of a quilt she didn't know I had designed, I said I'm sorry, shop policy, the pattern is for sale, and she said "I don't want to buy it, I just want to take the picture so I can copy it and do it myself" and I wanted to say something really snarky back. Or another employee, someone said to her "I want to take a picture so I can recreate this class and run it at my quilt shop" and she also happened to be the creator. My friends sent me pictures of Artist Alley from Emerald City Comicon and I had to take some deep breaths

When people send you pictures just ask "you asked for permission right?" There are some artists that don't mind. I don't mind when people take pictures of my works because they could just see it on my website.
The biggest thing with paper/pencil artists is someone could take a picture, print out their picture, and hang it on the wall. Basically a way to steal the art. I take pictures of set ups, but ALWAYS ask first. There are some people that want to take a picture because they love it but can't afford to buy at the moment and don't understand to ask first.
