If I can perceive photons bouncing off of you in public with my eyes, why can't I capture an approximate record of the arrangement of those photons in a digital format?

In the former, I'm storing it in analog form in my mind. In the latter, I'm storing it in digital form on silicon.

If you really don't want to be seen, then don't go in public?

Being seen is not the same as being recorded.

Does your GF mind if you record her in bed without her consent?

Explain her your photons bouncing BS or tell her that if she doesn't want to be recorded she shouldn't undress with someone else in the same room.
