The way I understand it to be, she'd have no reason to expect privacy in such a situation. She's in public and the place is a public place. However, she could have something to say about the commercial use of her image, but not a non-commercial use (someone, I'm sure, will correct me if I'm mistaken).
However, she could also put up a fuss and make a scene should a photographer refuse to comply with her wish not to be photographed. No one needs that for a simple snap, so it makes sense to accept the subject's wishes. A little later I saw a woman with an outrageous hat. We spoke, she was quite pleasant, and she made it clear she didn't want to be photographed. Of course, I complied .... although I'd much preferred to get that pic than the pic of the smooching couple ;-)) Shel "You meet the nicest people with a Pentax" > [Original Message] > From: Cotty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: pentax list <[email protected]> > Date: 11/1/2005 1:55:05 PM > Subject: Re: GESO: A Day Around Union Square > > On 1/11/05, Shel Belinkoff, discombobulated, unleashed: > > >In this instance the woman had the option to say no to having her photo > >taken. > > Where I live, it would be up to the photographer as to whether or not he > or she respect the decision.
