The convention has a fine photo policy. That policy is not "take pictures of strangers and, if they point out that you should have asked for permission, offer to delete the photo."
I'm posting this because at least two people took that approach to photography. Two that I noticed, because they used flash to take pictures of me. It seems statistically unlikely that those were the only two. (I don't even want to assume that they remembered for the rest of the weekend, though I will hope.)
In this case, deleting wouldn't have helped anything: camera flashes pointed at me hurt. If someone asks, I can say "don't do that" or "only if you can do it without flash." Once they've hurt my eyes, deleting the image won't stop my eyes hurting.
(I am planning to do some con report type stuff, and will link here if it seems of general interest. I have also posted this entry to the LJ Wiscon community.)
