Do you take street photgraphy? Do you enjoy grabbing candid moments of anonymous faces as they pass you by? And do you live in Australia? Well, even if you don't, but you take photos in public from time to time for whatever reason, this article from The Sydney Morning Herald makes interesting reading. If you don't live in Au, the points raised regarding the legalities and moralities of taking images of strangers and posting them online is not only timely, but I'd say they are common issues most likely faced in urban areas around the globe.

Sadly, I believe the SMH is now a subscription only service, but if you can't access the story with the above link, here is the door to google's cache of the article
