Mitty, In the U.S. photographs of people in public places can be used for non-commercial purposes without permission. It would not be against the law here to exhibit similar pictures taken out of the U.S.. If you post them on the web and they are protected by another country's laws you might get into trouble in that country but not here. If you plan to use the pictures for commercial purposes you must have a signed photo release from every recognizable subject. There are law-makers going crazy here trying to figure out how to protect the privacy of people from cell phone cameras. :-) Any day now there will be a 6MP, 12-250 FL cell phone!
