Public buildings is a clear case, but I think the main problem lies with pictures of people. Unless you want to commit a felony and stalk them, it's pretty much impossible to get non-fair use images for small time actors who don't visit premieres or award ceremonies.

I got a couple of pictures of minor celebrities (an actor and an author; I also got a picture of an astronaut, but he already had a better free picture so I didn't use it) that are now in Wikimedia Commons and in the Wikipedia articles about those persons when they and I both attended the Mensa World Gathering earlier this year. You don't necessarily have to be a stalker to run into mildly-famous people; just have a camera handy when you go to conventions and other events of that sort.
