I really couldn't care less if people photograph me in public. I have students who snap pictures of me lecturing and post them on the internet. I used to be a nude model at CCAD in Columbus, and there's paintings and sculptures of me all over the place. I think it's great. And if people ever made money on any of those things that would be great for them. It seems like the opinions on this issue vary greatly from person to person.

I totally think that people in public are fair game for having their picture taken. If I take pictures on a sidewalk of other people on a sidewalk, then I should be entitled to do anything I damn well please with those pictures. But at the same time, if I'm just minding my own biz walking down the street and some cat takes my picture and then sells said picture for multi-thousands of dollars, then I think I would feel entitled to some of that. I mean could I sell a picture of a copyrighted billboard that I took in a public place? What if I cropped out everything except the billboard? Should I be able to claim a copyright to my own image?
