Documenting You, Documenting Me

A Cairo waiter shows off his photo of this researcher above, and a more traditional studio photographer in Delhi below.

With the tools to capture experiences in the hands of more and more people its not surprising that one of the experiences that ends up being documented is, um, the process of being documented. How does being watched affect how we (researchers) work? when will we have the first Rodney King style documentation of a mis-behaving field researcher?
