It's a good question Jan, I have photographs very much taken at streets and casual and no casual portraits taken for a specific purpose that I don't upload to the web because I have doubts about permissions, etc., and then I upload the photographs I'm sure they don't have problems about this issue, i.e. photographs about my family closer members, they are also interested to see and to have available their photographs in the Web for several reasons. However I uploaded and upload photographs to the Web about other persons that gave me permissions or I know there are no problems, some examples here: http://www.rollei-gallery.net/itar/image-88634.html http://www.rollei-gallery.net/itar/image-89183.html http://www.rollei-gallery.net/itar/image-84236.html http://www.rollei-gallery.net/itar/image-83032.html http://www.rollei-gallery.net/itar/image-87416.html http://www.rollei-gallery.net/itar/image-82769.html etcetera.- All the best Carlos --- Jan Decher <jan.decher@xxxxxxx> escribió: > Recent people picture postings on this list make me > wonder how all of you all handle the issue of asking > permission of your photographic subjects to post > their images on the web.
