All Answers To Questions

Answer 1

I'm not a lawyer but I think if they were out in public and you took their picture then you own the pictures and you can do whatever you want with them.

Answer 2

You can copyright the photos no problem. If you use the images for news paper and magazine use your fine but you should have taken model releases if you want to sell the photos for adds and such. Example if you sell the images to go with an artical on Jamaica travel your fine. If you want to sell the photo with ppl in it for an add for Rum then you have a problem.
