Street photography

Interesting article: "Street photography has fallen out of favor in art circles, but the tradition is kept alive by dedicated shooters." This article was featured on the "Schneier on Security" blog because of this paragraph:

More onerous are post-9/11 restrictions that have placed limits on photographing in public settings. Tucker has received e-mails from professionals detained by authorities for photographing bridges and elevated trains. "There are places where photographing people on the street may become illegal," observes Westerbeck.

As a commenter on the Schneier post pointed out, British police asked for amateur footage to help them with the bombing investigation. And as someone else pointed out, businesses and government are putting cameras everywhere themselves.

It's probably a good thing I don't own a camera. Living near to DC, I'd likely have been arrested by now.

Today in brief.

Not a good day.



In an effort to sound like an optimist or something, I'll say that at least crying relieves some of the pain in my eyes. That's a plus.
