You are correct, Leslie. I was speaking only of the
commercial use situation. For art or editorial purposes, no release is needed to
photograph a person in a public place (or a private place if you have been
invited there) and to use the picture for artistic or editorial
purposes.

You are correct when you are speaking of using the picture in
advertising.
However, in a photojournalistic situation, you have every
right to take a
photograph of a person in public including a child. You
may not use this in
advertising, but it can be used for editorial purpose
like newspapers. You DO NOT need
their permission unless you try and sell
the pictures to be used for
advertising reasons. When you go into a
newsworthy situation at a private home or
restaurant or the like, you can
take pictures until the person tells you that you
cannot. You may,
however, use the pictures that you shot up until that point.
Any other
situation except for gallery purpose or editorial purpose, you need
a
model release to use the photos. As a photojournalist, it would be ludacrist
(spelling?) to stop and ask for permission.
