assume your town/city was holding some sort of public event. In that even there was to be a professional and amature art contest. Several divisions including photography. You worked up a few shots, entered them and then after the judging was done you were wandering around through the exhibit, looking for your entries to see if they'd won anything when you wandered through the amature area and realized to your shock that someone had entered a large 16x20 print of you! Very definately a candid shot..maybe snoozing on the grass in the park, or playing frisbee with your dog..riding a bike down the street..bending over with your rear to the camera pulling weeds..who knows. Definately candid, definately something that you were so engaged in you never knew someone with a camera was around and to make matters worse you were definately NOT dressed the way you would have been had you known a picture was going to be taken. They never asked your name or your permission to use the image but there you are, in all your ..umm..raident glory...for the entire world to see. What would you do?

Hey! wizz if someone had a shot of me then there's no way it's going to be a winner. But if as you say it was a winner then I would go SLAP! that person on the back and get a copy. Here's a similar story... Back in 1992 I took this picture the girl was playing her cello buskin out in the high street. I didn't ask just snatched it and was on my way. Latter after some post work I put it round the exhibitions and won loads of awards, I always regretted not staying and getting her name, I returned lots of time to find her and give her a print but with no luck :( Now here is the spooky thing this year my wife had a old school friend to visit, chatting with her husband I showed him my Pictures when we got to this picture he said my god thats Kate my sister in law. Bloody hell! what are the chances of that ? So being the gent I am :) I sent her a copy :o)

Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing. Salvador Dali

I'd rebuke them for wasting the film on me when there's so many pretty women about. Cello playing or not. But I guess really I'd be a bit proud - like hey, they thought I was interesting gee! (",)

Depends on how compromising the shot would be, I suppose. If it was going to be used for commercial purposes eventually, I'd slap the photog with a lawsuit and ask for compensatory damages hehehe... Probably I'd ask for a copy to say the least, but I doubt that I will do anything about it. I've appeared on cable TV for a feature story on communication and travelling without my knowledge (friends told me after they saw the story, and I met the feature editor soon after --"hey, I know you... we have you on film..."), and I didn't bother filing a complaint anymore.
