If I want to take a photograph of a beach, do I have to ask everyone within close enough range for permission? I don't think so as I am in a public area. If someone comes up to me and says not to take a picture of them, thats fine with me, I will simply tell them " Ok, if you don't want to be a part of this photograph, you are free to move out of view, this way you will get what you want and I will get the photograph". You don't have to be thick skined to do this. If they don't move, and insist that you do not take the picture, then they are violating your right to take the photograph.
