AIBU re taking photos

[KnackeredHag]

I am just wondering if I am being unreasonable or if my husband (and teenage child) are?

A few weeks ago as part of my daughters school work she had to make an assault course. She decided to start it about two thirds of the way down the driveway up to the garage. We were out there, doing the assault course waiting for my husband to return from work. When he pulled up he looked puzzled, got out of his van and asked if we knew there was a man taking photos of us. I didn't so walked down and out of the drive to see. He was probably in his 80s and was walking away from the house, he must've turned after my husband pulled up and given I had to walk down and out the drive he must've left pretty quickly. Didn't really think anything more about it.

Today I'm out the back and my eldest calls me to the front. The elderly man has returned with laminated photos of us playing in the driveway. I think he's probably a lonely old man with no family and he liked seeing us playing together and thought he was doing a kind thing by bringing the photos round. My husband and teen think he is weird and it's not the kind of thing you do, apparently I'm naive.

So who (if any of us) are being unreasonable?

YABU - You need to see that sometimes people aren't who you think they are

YANBU - He sounds like a sweet old man and your husband and child are wrong in their assumptions

Because she didn’t know it was happening.

We get a few people walking past my daughters and I while playing in the garden and last week someone commented they wished they had a camera everytime they see us as we are always having so much fun. I hadn't really though about it but actually those of the kind of photos I wish I had

It's a bit odd but if he had any ulterior motive, he wouldn't come find with photos

My neighbour (also in his 80s) has done the same if I’ve ever sent him a photo of the children enjoying a present he’s given them. He prints them out on a4 paper and puts them through the letterbox for us. I find it weird but also he’s just being kind; I don’t send photos often, probably only once or twice a year, so it doesn’t bother me.
I see both sides completely! Well intentioned but often misread in 2020!

I would be more concerned if he disnt return with the photos. He should of asked first

It may not be illegal but it is an invasion of privacy.

Standing in the open on a driveway next to a public street isn't privacy anyway.
