This is my kinda people! you absolutely get the kindest and most loving smiles from absolute strangers out there in the playa. I don't remember what event I was at, but people were more than happy to have their photos taken.
I recently did the Burner Podcast about how/why I take photos out here that you may enjoy. I was asked if I ask for "consent" first when taking photos, and I really never do, but I always show the photo afterward and ask if they want me to send it to them. I notice sometimes when you ask first, they start acting a little differently because they know they are on camera. Anyway, in this case, this cat clearly knew I was taking a photo and he was more than up for it.
