Personally I think that too much is being made of this. If you give the pictures he posted an objective review, there really is nothing wrong with any of them - they are mostly random shots of people looking at amazement or surprise at the special train.

It seems that those who like Brian also like the pictures and those who have issues with him go out of their way not just to criticize them but to question the very legality of taking them. That is where I drew the line and why I stepped into this conversation since I am aggressive in defending photographers' rights regardless of whether or not I personally agree with the style of photography. If it is legal I will vigorously defend its legality under the law.

It is fair to criticize his composition, focus, framing, etc. There is A LOT to criticize about the quality of those shots, but there is nothing illegal or even improper in any of them. I do not see where he is focusing on cleavage or solely on the gluteus maximus or other body parts, which would be disturbing. He is NOT "upskirting" or zooming in on people's bedrooms or bathrooms which is what New York's "unlawful surveillance" laws are intended to protect against.

As for the "pole dancing" caption - I will agree the caption has sexual connotations and should have been omitted.
