There are so many surveillance cameras installed in public spaces (malls, gas stations, ATMs) that you can be photographed hundreds of times in a day.
The top–selling iPhone app iSpy lets the user watch thousands of live–streaming closed–circuit television cameras around the world. You can look in on a bar in Taipei, a ritzy hotel in Moscow, a quiet harbor in Norway. It might sound creepy, but Studio 360’s Eric Molinsky finds this anonymous voyeurism comforting.

There is no difference in what this woman is doing than the pedophile, the stalker, the peeping tom. She may call it art. I call it criminal and hope someone soon alerts her local police. She should be stopped and educated on the error of her common sense. We do not want her in our neighborhood.
Didn't look at her photos. As soon as I heard this broadcast on my car radio I turned around to get to a computer to post my response.
This woman is a STALKER. Didn't she say she parks outside houses for days waiting for the "perfect shot?" So do child molesters, kidnappers, and extortionists. She's creepy, unimaginative, probably a failure in her field, a psycho at worst, and unprofessional at best.
Worse yet, she's making money from her victims' images without their knowledge or consent. She has no signed model release form which I thought you had to have to display an image in public. If this was truly "okay" she would have approached her subjects after the fact. They should have received a "posing" fee and signed their rights away to be displayed wherever this stalker wanted to display her so-called work.
If your photo is taken on a public street, an argument can be made that you are OUT in public and have no expectation of privacy. These people's crime? Neglecting to close a curtain. How does that make it okay to violate their expectation of privacy IN THEIR OWN HOUSE? Just because one CAN doesn't mean one SHOULD!
I hope someone recognizes themselves and sues her pseudo-artistic a**.
I feel strongly against this being acceptable. I asked myself why? I reflected on a moral code: "Do onto others as you would have others do unto you..." This is something one may find in many spiritual traditions maybe said a little differently, but said in essence. It was clear in her share that she felt that inner sway that told her what she was doing wasn't what she would want done to herself. She went as far as closing her house up at night after a photographic jaunt...And, what about the person who may discover themselves in a compromising or other photo in a gallery someday?
Creepy isn't the word for the woman who thinks that, by calling herself a photographer, she is anything but a voyeur. I hope more people catch her in the act and eventually send her to seek treatment. She's obviously got problems and has no right to impose them on other people.
