I explore abandoned sites and junkyards , and last year i found a bombproof metal case of over 200 photos of this persons life...in an open yard of a crumbling down house basically i deduced the photos down to this one reappearing guy and picked him as the owner, a few months later i went up to the site while the council were clearing the whole place out , they told me the guys names and g so i found out some cool facts about him..being an underwater hockey champion etc ..... thing is i want to used these photos in my fine art degree show ...ive tried contacting the guy every way i can ...but cant !!....and im thinking of resorting to covering up his eyes in the display so i dont get in trouble with my tutors or the law ...........this may be seen as unethical ...can you please give me some advice on my problem ,,, ive searched the internet but cant find any information , especially for this part of the world. I would appreciate a response Thankx E. hey I was wondering if i cud ask your advice on a topic , you also may like my story.

This does not apply on private property where there is a specific ban on taking photographs.

I'm a minor and there are photos of me and my classmates published on the internet, that we didn't give consent to be taken, let alone published. Does anyone know what I can do about this? Hi.

I am working on a History Podcasting project where I wish to use old imagery I have come across and I have no way of contacting the photographer, due to ignorance or death. What way does copyright work with this situation or with period of time before they become public domain. If this happens at all, perhaps someone might know.

They basically informed me that any such images where someone can be identified must comply with the Data Protection Act. Therefore, use of such images (like posting on Pix.ie or FlickR) would be in breach of that act. Maybe this needs to be looked at further.
