Where it gets interesting/complicated is if that same photo of the dog then winds up on the cover of a magazine, website banner, brochure - i.e. any commercial venture as you'd have to have a photo release from all the people in the photo. This would also apply if you had that Flickr photo invited to be a part of the Getty Image Collection. It really depends on what you're intending to do with the photo as to what rules apply. I tend to not shoot people directly if I can avoid it only to not have to deal with the hassle of releases...unless of course it's in the context of a photo shoot.

Suppose I take a picture of a dog on Granville Island and the owner is visible in the pic. Can I publish it on flickr? I know that google got in trouble with its Street View.

I loved the pictures. I have always found Vancouver to be a very beautiful and inspiring place to live. Especially the new-age architecture i.e. The Wall Center or Robson Library. Thanks for sharing a little social media beauty.... Time to get ready to host the world in less the 100 days.... Jonathan Fantastic social media idea, I will check it out. I loved the pictures.
