Unfortunately, for some contests now, model releases are requested. This puts an unrealistic burden on the candid street photographer, requiring that she or he attempt to obtain releases whenever someone in a crowd is recognizable. Some magazines have gone the same way, requiring releases even if the photo is not going to be used for advertising or editorial use. The policy is used just for their own protection, but it is unworkable and unpractical. - -GH
