Photos of people with recognizable faces should always have a model release. Editorial use of a person's photo is usually okay, but getting a model release protects you from legal liabilities.

In most countries it is okay to take photos of architecture without permission if you are on publicly accessible land when you take the shot. But be sure you know your rights and the rights of the building owners before you publish the photograph.
