> How acceptable is it to take pictures of people without asking for > permission?
Joaquim, Your question instantly reminded me of a discussion that took place just under 2 years ago here started by Shel, entitled "The morality of taking a photograph". It started from a photo of an obese woman that Shel posted, entitled "bigeater". That discussion may hold the pdml record as, if you check the archives, you'll see that the discussion took off and continued for over ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY emails (crazy!!!). Anyhow, the short answer / consensus that *I* got from that discussion was that it simply depends on your intentions as the photographer, not to mention your intended use of the photo. The entire discussion starts here: http://www.mail-archive.com/pentax-discuss@pdml.net/msg148946.html Enjoy <g> PS... The link on Shel's page has since been made inactive... but if you were truly interested, perhaps he would be so kind as to let you sneak a peak. Best regards, - Jerome
