I suppose it is relevant what the criminal law defines as trespass, and I 
don't have the time to research all of the other laws that might conceivably 
apply to the alleged Jackie Woolf photography shoot, but wandering around on 
anyone's private property without permission seems wrong to me.  If there 
isn't an applicable law, "there oughta be a  law." One ought to ask 
permission, notwithstanding the lack of posted "no trespassing" signs, and 
if nobody is home to give you permission, you ought to walk back down the 
sidewalk from the front door that wasn't answered and leave the property 
immediately without wandering around on someone else's property.
