suzanne,
as someone who used to photograph baseball games for "the league"
parents do bat an eye when there is a male with a camera,
and this was 15 years ago before d*** ... even more recently
when i worked for a weekly, and i was shooting with a D**,
at first they don't mind because they think they might
be "famous" ( กกก HAHAHA !!!) but people always mind if they or their
kids are in some "man's camera" ... as a parent of 3 kids,
if i see a stranger taking their photographs, i approach them,
and at my kids' schools teachers, and parents have approached me ...
unfortunately, men always get scrutinized about this sort of thing more than
their female counterparts.
good luck !
