I was thinking of posting some shots of my street photography, but paused as I pondered my own ethical dilemma.

I had no permission. No model release.
I never felt this as an issue until I contemplated posting on a website, open for anyone to see.

Does a person's presence in a public place imply consent to publish their image?

I don't mean people in a crowd, but a full, frame filling face.

I found a thread where Kym proposed...
"Is it ethical to photograph someone without their consent ?
- Yes, with limits, i.e. in public is ok; but not through their bathroom/bedroom window"

But let's take that discussion further, to the publishing of a person's image, that was taken without their consent.

I'd love to hear your views.
