A
Washington DC-area food blogger received notification
from the attorney of Chef Carole Greenwood, of Buck's Fishing and Camping, insisting that he "cease and desist
from showing any pictures that [he] may have taken of the food and facilities at said restaurant." Jason Storch,
the blogger at DCfoodies.com, said that the chef stated during dessert that he
would need to ask permission before using the photos for anything, but that he was not, as the attorney claimed
"specifically told [by the chef] NOT to take any pictures."
The attorney is claiming that the restaurant and everything in it is the sole and confidential property of the owner, in this case, Ms. Greenwood. I have no problem with the attorney doing his job, but does Ms. Greenwood really expect that the interior of her restaurant be "confidential"? Given that there were no visible signs informing patrons that photography would not be prohibited, she probably should not have expected this. If the management of an establishment does not want to permit photography, they need to clearly state that. Once a photo is taken, the owner of the photo can do with it what he will.
