Wow, that all looks so awesome! It's like a geekgasm!
For the record, as a parent I'm okay with others taking photos of my kid in a context that warrants it, like if she's in a costume or holding a protest sign or doing anything else highly public in a public place in a way designed to get attention.
It's only creepy when someone without a kid wants to take a picture of your kid on a quiet day at the playground.
And I love how Yoda appears to be doing the finger-over-the-head-like-antennae/rabbit ears-goofball-photo-thing on that kid. :D
Yeah, I figured I wouldn't come across as a perv taking pictures of kids posing with Star Wars characters. If a kid is doing something special at the zoo, like holding a butterfly on their finger, I figure it's okay to take a photo then. I'm focusing in on the butterfly anyways.
And my friends love it when I take pictures of their kids. I'm encouraged to do go. :-)
But a stranger's kid just being a kid, on a swing set or just standing around - I'd never take a picture in that situation.
SO awesome! I think that concert came to SA, but we didn't go. Should've, I guess!
I've also gotten that spiel about my Canon T1i. So I smuggled it in along with my telephoto lens just to extra-thwart them! One of the few times I was grateful for the big boobs. ;)

I am now officially envious.

Of course then you have to walk up to mr. Stormtrooper and say in all seriousness:
"THESE AREN'T THE DROIDS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR."
