Is it annoying when...

Not at all!

Just be like, "Hey, can I trouble you for a second, maybe snap a picture of me with (insert name here)?" Oftentimes, the folks waiting with you are super-nice!

I have followed your NYC_or_Bust's whenever I can. I have however come up with a better solution recently.

In June, I bought a new Canon camera with a flip-out screen. I can now take perfectly lined up pictures when I have no one to partner up with. It has worked out extremely well in tight quarters (such as at the Grease stage door), as I know it will at Cyrano in November.

If you ever see me at a stage door, I will be more than happy to shoot pictures for you.

No ... as long as you so the same favor for them.. Most likely they are stage dooring for same reason as you

As I've said before...

"Is it annoying when" people start postings with coy, open-ended titles?

Not meaning to jump YOUR case specifically, but this was kind of an out-of-control trend this past summer, with lots of "Don't you hate..." and "I've always wondered..." titled postings.

I know people think it's an effective tease, but you just end up wasting readers' time with postings that hold zero interest for them, and you also may end up missing out on readers who are very interested.

Oh, and to step back from my being bitchy before and address your question-- if you're polite and not intrusive, it's no big deal. People are usually pretty nice.

Just make sure they seem like they can work a basic camera. I have some TERRIBLE pictures taken by some of the sweetest little old ladies you've ever met.

I don't mind it as long as I too can get a pic of people. I figure some people are by themselves, or whatever. I even donate pens to other people.
