It's natural to be curious of others and other things and in the public realm, being able to look at stuff is a basic human right that extends to pictures on the internet. If you engage in society, then society has a right to at least look at you, again only in public spaces.

I believe in privacy. If I'm in my home, a bathroom, a private club or the like then you should not be subject to intrusion or recording without your permission. But I don't have the right to ask someone not to look at me when I am outside on the street and to me it seems weird that anyone would have a problem with that.

Yeah, they have the right to look but not to photograph just like you are allowed to watch a movie but not to record it. If you want a photo of me for your own enjoyment then I may want a fee or I may not want you to have any. Privacy is not only in your own private space/home just like up-skirting is not legal in public spaces.
