The War on Photography
Making Light hipped me to a blog called The War on Photography, which chronicles amateur and pro photographers taking perfectly legal pictures being harassed by law enforcement types in the name of homeland security. This post is about a British tourist threatened by NYC police for taking pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge. Given the vast numbers of picutures available of the Brooklyn Bridge (here are some of mine), no one is going to stop terrorists from doing their worst by stopping people taking pictures. All the authorities are doing in cases like these is harassing tourists and acting like total idiots. It is shameful.
