Asher,
As members of OPF are from any different countries, the laws regarding public space and in particular taking photos of people in public space differ. In the U.S and other countries this is relatively easy, in other countries not. Taking a photo might be still OK, but using it for an exposition or to use the words - showing it in a public place without written permission - can get you into trouble if the person complains.
In order to be able to discuss photos, where it was not possible to obtain permission because the people disappeared in the crowd after the shot, while protecting their privacy - would it possible to create a private corner or to allow these shots in the section mentioned in the subject?
Just a thought...
Best regards,
Michael
