The War on Photography
Tamara sent me a link about the ongoing “War on Photography”. It’s full of links to other web pages that describe problems photographers have with taking pictures in public. More and more taking pictures is equated with terrorism, especially (but not only) if the subject of the picture is something a terrorist might want to blow up. Or taking a picture is considered a copyright infringement. Or, it’s just a weird policy created by overactive managers.
As a bit of an amateur photographer myself, it is something I watch. Hopefully we in Canada can avoid some of the excess I see written about in the USA and, especially, England.
