More details to this question:
I was at a music concert with a friend and we fell asleep. When we awakened, we were told by the women who were seated next to us that the women who were seated on the other side of us took pictures of us while we were sleeping.

Most times, while you are in a public space, you become "public". In addition, if you turn the ticket over that you have for the concert, chances are there is some provision on there that your attendance at the concert constitutes the right to be photographed as part of the admvertisement of that concert. I'm not saying that's what the person did to you, but mostly your appearance in a public place leave you subject to being photographed.
