A similar project was done a year or so ago by Michael Wolf, a German 
photographer living and working in Hong Kong, whom I have met since my 
daughter helped edit one of his photo books on Hong Kong shop houses. Wolf's 
pictures showed more identifiable people than the New York ones and there 
was talk of suing for invasion of privacy but as far as I know nothing has 
come of it. But then Hong kong is not such a litigious society.

Huge windows in a high rise building across the street from another? And the 
subjects thought they had an expectation of privacy with curtains drawn? I 
think the ones suing are on equally thin ice. Had this been done in France, 
Canada, etc. not so sure.
