Is a matter of fact that everyone's work has ethical issues...

There are several points to ponder talking about documenting our life, 
here are two:

- If you ask for permission the document has less documentary value? 
(when it applies,indeed)
- Is the subject privacy more or less protected if their personal data 
is rambling out there with a photo work?

No one sues you - loosely speaking - if you're treating him well, but 
what happens if what you want to show isnt pleasant for nobody? it dont 
exists? I'm asking myself if we are walking towards a beautified world 
where our image is just what we fancy, and some things only happens in 
far places.
Kinda blindfolded donkeys.
