> I`m with Bob. If you`re in public, you take your chances. If you take and publish a picture that shows a person in a less than flattering way, you might find yourself in court on defamation charges. People have rights to control how they are are portrayed by others. Its why we have libel and slander laws. Transgress those rights at your own peril. In the case of Shel's pictures, were she to find that he had published that image (he did), and she found the depiction to cause her discomfort, she would have every right to take Shel to task. Since the picture was taken in a society known for frivolous litigations being successful, she would probably win. William Robb
