Wow
I really opened up a can of worms here with my original question. I want to thank all of you for some great insight into this world of ours about our chosen profession. You each have given some real fine advice and ideas on both the matter of privacy and taxes.
With all of this in mind I have come to the conclusion that
1. I may re-think my profession.
2. Quiver at the knees when my finger presses on my shutter button on the camera.
3Walk away from all those wonderful shots that I've taken avantage of prior, and /or
4
All of the above.
Actually I think that "common sense" used and as Steven suggested "put myself on the other side of the lens"--together along with some great wording in my release forms and a lot of prayer, I may continue with my choice of profession for now.
It seems that the longer you linger about all of this - the more it balloons into such scenerios that one would just need to envelope oneself in a bubble and never come out. So with that said , I shall thank you all again. I have said it before and I will say it again, " this site and forum with all of you inside just cannot be beat" . You are so helpful to us all. The insight is endless. BRAVO TO ALL.
With gratitude--
