<p>At first my attention was grabbed by the red tomatoes in the red window, and then I realized that the people in the kitchen added an interesting story</p><div></div>

<p>My Personal Opinion Only:<br>

If these shots were taken without the victim knowing you did so and then posted on here, by the looks of some of the people you may have to bend over to bruh your teeth providing you still have a few left. Trying those shots in many cities will get you a few bullets or knives in your body in today's today free of charge--if you are lucky, you will only get sued for invassion of the person's privacy. i have too much to loose to risk taking these types of shots in Canada or the USA. I ask first and get a signed release for anything I sell or display just to be safe. It may be legal in some countries and if it is--I want that in writing, not verbal.</p>

If those buildings are public places, why not try be in one of them after the place of business is closed without the owner's permission as the polce respond to a silent alarm. Try telling that joke to to business owner and police about it being public property. I do know the difference between public and private property--Do You?</p>

<p>This was actually an experiment in manual focus bracketing I did several years ago. </p><div></div>

<p>Oh Garry, Garry, Garry... If you have too much to lose then don't take these kinds of pictures. I appreciate you looking out for us, but, really, old man, you shouldn't lose sleep on our account.</p><div></div>

<p>For Gary Mansfield (and others) -- a useful general guide addressing legal considerations of photos in public places in the U.S. is found here, on this lawyer's site. Both a one-page summary and a handbook are available:</p>

<p>http://www.krages.com/phoright.htm</p>

<p>Note: Not all public places are the same. In some public places -- a toilet stall in a public restroom, for example -- one has a reasonable expectation of privacy. In most such public places, however, one does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy.</p>

<p>Here is another one I found in my collection. Made in the framework of my Men at Work project that was ended some days ago. If you're interested in this series, you could visit http://people.stellaria.nl.<br>

This particular one was made in Trastevere in Rome, last spring...<br>

<p>These photos are all great! I am so impressed.</p>

<p>Garry: Most of these "street" guys know their rights down pat. This is all public property type stuff. The one biggest exception you have to be aware of, and has already been mentioned by Michael S (with a link to a great summary of photographers' rights), is the reasonable expectation of privacy. The toilet stall is a good example. The one that first enters my mind is taking embarassing photos of someone through their household blinds. If someone has their blinds drawn, they have a "reasonable" expectation of privacy, especially at night. If you are peeking through their windows and take embarassing photos through a crack in the curtains or blinds, you could end up in legal trouble.</p>

<p>Business windows on public streets, however, are always public, and they have no reasonable expectation of privacy. This applies in the U.S. as well as in Canada, the U.K., the E.U., and any other civilized country.</p>

<p>it's not so much about rights as about using common sense.</p>
