[OSM-talk] [tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - photo studio

[assetburned]

Hi

That it is the same problem as with shoe_repair and locksmith. I've never seen a shop that act only as one of it. But I have seen different shops that also act as locksmith and something else, but not as a shoe_repair shop. By the way locksmith is another tag I really would like to see.

Here in my home town we have several stores that are specialised in developing films (and they also sell picture frames and very cheap cameras and they taking photos for passports) and we have also shops who are specialised in selling photo equipment (sometimes are also taking passport photos).

So what I would do is to create another two tags for them or at least one where these two shops are combined. After thinking of it just one additional tag is better.

The reason is simple in a photo studio is a professional photographer, but in these other stores are salesperson who are also focused on taking photos.

As criteria to differentiate both types (my proposal and the other shops) you could use:
1) type of people who works in that store (salespersonal or photographer)
2) do they also offer to take photos in house only?

both should lead you to the same result which tag would be the right one.
