Unless your using the photos for commercial purposes (and I don't think the
Gallery qualifies as a commercial use), do you really need a model release?
As I understand it, a photo taken in a public place can be used for
editorial or artistic purposes without the consent of the subject, provided
he/she doesn't feel harassed.
Please correct me if/where I'm wrong!

I take my hat off to anyone who can make a living from street
photography. I am presently trying to obtain a subjects permission
to use a photograph of them that I took, said 'use' being merely to
put in the Oly Gallery.
Anyone have a an idea of what form a model release should take -
specificly wording? I would appreciate any pointers/examples.
No wonder most of the shots in the gallery are landscapes. ;-)
