I post photos of my daughter on facebook, in my flickr account and occasionally on my blog. I've even posted photos of her here. She is a part of my life - a very significant part of my life and photography is my chosen hobby. I choose not to indulge in the fearful 'perverts on the internet' meme. I mean, come on, to follow through in an honest way one would have to not let their child ever leave the house. Internet demographics are fairly much in direct proportion to society in this day and age.
I do have my facebook account privileges set to 'friends only' for everything...not because I am fearful of other people seeing my photos, but because there's no reason for someone I don't know to have access to the material I have uploaded there.
