Hey all,

Has anyone else taken a look at the new feature &quot;A Typical French Suburb&quot; by Simon Wheatly on the Magnum site?

A lot of the faces have been pixeltaed, or blurred, so as to be unrecognizable. Or is that his new artistic technique? What's going on here? Did these people ask not to be photographed? Is there a legal issue? Seems like a weird thing to do with such frequency. They look blurred to a degree where anyone who knows these kids would still be able to recognize them. Any thoughts?
