I have a question for those who go to cons and other celebrity events. Chiller Theatre is more of an autograph show than a sci-fi con. The major guests are in an enclosed tent outside and it costs 20.00 for the day at the show (including admission to the dealers area and some activities).

There were 4 people who wouldn't let me take a photo of them (even at a distance) for free - Joyce Sutherland from Buffy, William Kaat, Linda Blair and Barbara Eden. Other celebrities didn't seem to care or even posed when I asked. Barbara Eden's security people were the worst, you couldn't even TRY to shoot her from across the room. I would think that if you are doing these events it is ok to charge for a picture WITH someone or an autograph but not just for a general photo - I mean you could easily get them in the background when doing another photo - even one you are paying for. I'm just someone who wanted a photo that I was there - I'm not a great picture taker, I wasn't going to photoshop a nude body on it and put it on the net, or put a fake signature on it and make a zillion copies!

The cons I've been to (like Shore Leave) have had the guests hanging around and on stage where I've often gotten bad photos. I just find the attitude weird. I also found it odd that only one male guest cared and is no longer a big star. It almost seemed the more obscure the guest was the friendlier they were.
