Journalism is treated differently than other commercial enterprises by 
law. If the subjects don't complain it's alright for art: based on the 
artist's tolerance for lawsuits, but most cor****ate buyers won't want to 
see the possibility of a future complaint.

I have photos of people doing good but they don't make sense without an 
explanation and I don't have releases. What you are asking for is some 
really legendary photography: not an easy request. I would like to see 
what you turn up, sincerely.
