Absolutely. I just wonder how one arrives at an answer. I've never, for example, taken photographs at an "active" car wreck as my first instinct is to help the people involved. But I know a person who has and who has been assaulted because of it.

Hi Frank and still no answer from your side whether people **know that you are publishing them later** and if they still **feel okay**? greetings ;-)
The point is, it doesn't matter how they feel about it.
It becomes an issue of the ethics of the photographer, and how he or she feels about publishing a picture of someone without their permission.
Not just that but publishing against their express wishes.

The point is though, that the decision is the photographer's, not the subject's, at least in the jurisdiction that Frank and I live in.

What if the pictures you were taking had the potential to be used politically, in a manner you did not agree with? Would you still take them? Or does it come down to the phtotographer taking pictures of the things that interest them, so they are sure that there will not be such "fallout"? Is that not propaganda? More questions than answers, tonight.
