I wonder if any of these unsuspecting mall shoppers had any idea that the guy with the camera was posting their photos on the Internet? But I'm sure you got signed waivers.

As opposed to facebook, which has no photos of subjects without their approval...



Nice set of pics

Quite a selection of photos! Diamonds aren't my first choice, but that DD II was pretty nice.

Compared to around here, it's kind of surprising to see high-end watch boutiques in a mall.

Huh? They have no expectation of privacy there plus this post isn't for commercial gain.

Nothing wrong with innocent pictures of shoppers in a mall pre x-mas. A bit different from jumping the proverbial fence and taking pics of the royals in their birthday suits.

I believe the law protects the right to privacy where there is "an expectation of privacy". There is generally no right to privacy in a shopping mall, out in the open etc.

Not to mention that most mall goers would be subject to video surveillance as a condition of entry.

Thanks for the cool pics. Would love some shots of the VC displays.

Cheers
