I would be fine with it. I have both taken pictures before and been nude before. I think that things done in the name of art (as this was, Zack Hyman is famous for public nude art) are fine, as long as done tastefully and carefully. There is a reason his things are done outside or on subways, and not in malls or food courts or schools. Discretion is indeed the name of this game.

I would be more suprised with all sorts of other things, like a bird hitting a window (saw it once, very shocking and sad and suprising) or a tree falling onto a car (i saw it right after it happened) or a power line catching on fire (this weekend that happened in my neighborhood). Natural events or random events are of far greater emotional impact for me then staged, artistic events.

So in a nutshell nudity in public for arts sake, not a problem. Snap away!
