Response to The in's 'n out's of street photography from those who know!

from Alan Gibson (Alan@snibgo.com)
I have heard that we in the UK are to have some new legislation soon, to bring us closer to the European position. The French position is MUCH tougher that that, as stated above: people can't be photographed even in public places (or is it just publishing that is a problem?).

I'm just pragmatic. I won't publish when I think a subject wouldn't like it, or if it might embarrass them at some time in the future. I don't sell images for advertising use, and I don't get model releases. I doubt that anyone will ever sue me, and I don't think I'll ever be worth sueing.

PS. Yes, the screw-thread Leicas are the only REAL Leicas. The later IIIf's, with the self-timers, have the best viewfinders (except for the over-priced IIIg's), but that is irrelevant if you use a separate finder. They really like Delta 3200. No, I'm not a camera nut, honest.
