If you haven't already, check out the Ethics in Photography blog at www.ethicsinphotography.com.

Some of the issues discussed over the last 2 years:
How do you feel when someone photographs you without permission? What if he photographed you through your home window and displayed/sold prints in a gallery? (this really happened and the court ruled in his favor...).

Do you always ask someone if you take their picture? What about magazines that modify news photos to suit their whims (not just National Enquirer, but Newsweek and others)? Do you think it's OK for a publication to show a photo of someone just before their death?
