Some of the things I learned from this lesson are:

1.  Public areas like streets and sidewalks are free game for shooting including through the window of someone’s home. Displaying those pictures acroding to Mrs. Wright is editorial as opposed to commercial.
2. There is a difference in the use of those pictures taken such as if  you are using them to promote a product or sponsor an event as opposed to just use a news or historical event happening.
