The ethics of cameras

[Scott Jackson]

Fenton,
If you found that people were upset with you for photographing their
property, then how did USA residents react to Google Maps Street View
(http://maps.google.com/)? It seems that Google has no qualms taking
pictures of peoples property.
 
I must say that I was taken aback to find that they have been secretly
filming everyone's front door in Australia. Satellite pictures were bad
enough, but these close-up street-scapes do make you feel uneasy. How and
why are they financing such a huge undertaking?

On this topic, but slightly off topic. 10 years ago I was doing a lot of
flying and would take up photographers from time to time. I got the idea to
shoot some of the more interesting homes belonging to my clients, then
approach them with the idea of selling some of these photos. BAD IDEA!! Not
only were they not interested in the photos, they were upset with me taking
pictures of their property. Lesson learned.
