If you're in the UK (or anywhere else that restricts photography) then your options are limited. But several of the pictures of mine that got picked up do not feature identifiable people (for instance, the Spruce Goose, the smaller plane, the Samurai!). And none of them are self-portraits. :) So I think you could do OK despite restrictive laws.

That is all very well and good but what if you have to deal with the data protection act like in the UK. If a photograph makes the person identifiable with details such as there name and is not for personal use, then it requires permission to take which would also explain that the photographs would be made available for public viewing and use.
Do you have any spare consent forms?

Then you could have the case when two people create the photograph such as
[1]"If you make a photograph with two or more people and each persons contribution to the photograph is not distinct, then you all become joint authors and joint first owners of copyright and the permission of each joint owner will be needed before such a photograph can be used."

Also I think there are too many internet stalker types added to this I do not want to make my electronic paper any bigger, telling people where I go, who are my friends and images of family members. You may say I am paranoid but when you live in country where

[2]"The biggest source of surveillance in Britain is through the network of CCTV (closed-circuit television) cameras. On average, an individual will appear on 300 CCTV cameras during a day and those tapes are kept by many organisations for indefinite lengths of time. "
I am worn out from having my picture taken.

ps I am not photogenic :)
