I’m having fun working on one project right now, a lo-fi iPhone project capturing the experience of my daily commute to and from work on the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission). I go the work early, and am normally on the subway by about 6:20 a.m. At that time of day, one does not see the rich latte drinkers, or other privileged classes of Toronto that for so many people form their only impression of the city. One sees the working class, an awful lot of diversity, and often, sheer fatigue, which I tried to capture in the photo below, taken with the iPhone 3GS camera, then given a vintage, lo-fi effect which I feel was ideally suited for the mood.

What are the privacy issues involved in publishing photographs when you don’t have the subject’s permission?

I’d respond two ways; firstly, I would consider public transit a public space, so there should not be any expectation of privacy.
Secondly, this is non-commercial work; if I were to sell it for commercial purposes I would need to get a model release from every recognizable individual, or I could be sued.
