picture of anything you can see from a publically
accessible position.
That said, you are liable to being hassled by people
and the police, and asked to prove that your
intentions are legitimate. My interests are geared to
the overall social setting, not targeting kids per se,
so I don't worry too much about it.
There is, however, a matter of common sense and social
responsibility. If I should ever take a kid-picture
that would have the capacity of exciting an
inappropriate interest (although god only knows how
those guys minds work) I certainly hope I would have
the sense not post it.
