This individual is in for a hard ride IMO...no effort to get permission
or a release, invades their pivacy, documents the invasion, then attempts
to use the results for personal gain? Geez...maybe worse than voyeruism.
Guess it depends on how identifiable the subjects are.  I would have
gone for silhouettes!  :-)

>>I was actually quite surprised a gallery agreed to represent and sell what 
seems to be the work of a Peeping Tom at best, a voyeur at worst. At any 
rate, some definitive case law should come out of it, which should clarify 
the dos and donts for the future.
