While I understand some people's problem with taking pictures of other people through their window, you've got to be able to appreciate the art behind it all. The pictures that were taken are beautiful. It not only shows the daily life of the everyday person, but also beautifies it. Who knew taking a snapshot through a window could provide such artistic potential? I don't think that you should be arrested for it, although taking pictures of other people without their permission is a little bit sketchy and should probably never happen. Nonetheless, the artistic side behind the window photographs should triumph over the contreversy (unless you are taking of pictures of something illegal, which should then be reported).
I am very intrigued with the Edward Snowden case and the idea of surveillance in this article. Encrypted emails and security keys relating to the government always provide a good storyline. I also think that it is incredibly awesome that Laura Poitras was able to successfully help Snowden spill the secrets that he had without getting in major trouble for it, at least in her case. By using film as a get-around, I think that Laura is a genius.
