Clearly it's photos of people that tell the most compelling stories. At one end of the scale are photographers like Steve McCurry. Who can forget his <a href="http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/afghangirl/index.html" rel="nofollow">green-eyed Afghan girl on the cover of National Geographic</a>, an image that launched so many aid campaigns for refugees? The other end of the scale is inhabited by the paparazzi, Britney-chasers, lawyers and trash magazine editors; an area of human endeavour with very little redeeming value. As usual, Archie, it's us honest little guys like you and me who are caught in the middle not knowing which rules to play by. Thanks Mez and Archie for your comments.

There seems to be a groundswell of public opinion that there need to be all sorts of permissions granted. That their image is something that should be protected from evil cameras. I know people who actually run away when a camera appears. I have a difficulty with photographing people.
