Nope. People in this case are irrelevant. They're 'collateral damages' if you see what I mean. Those people weren't meant, as persons, to figure in the photograph. They merely makes the background less annoying, not more. There're even objects forbidden to be photographed. The fact that they're in public space do not allow you to use the picture of'em on your personal cards (french would be 'carte de visite, dunno in English) neither on your business card. Even if you don't use the said image a your business logo. Stupid isn't it? Well it has been ruled so. In these cases, asking nicely will do it. But if you don't... problems ahead. Same for some buildings btw or subway stations etc. -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille/Thibs ---------------------- Photo: K-7, Sigma 28/1.8 macro, FA50/1.4, DA40Ltd, K30/2.8, DA16-45, DA50-135, DA50-200, 360FGZ ...
