The Ever Increasing War on Photography

- December 12th, 2009 @ The Lone Urbanist

Photo By Photographer Padawan. Photography is not a crime.

Because of the ever increasing issue on the War Against Photography and Photographers, I have decided to compile the articles that were written by others about this issue:

Who Started the War On Photography – By Scotte Bourne
The War on Photography. By Bruce Schneier
War On Photography
Going Rogue in the War Against Photography
DHS photography guidelines
DOT Response to Photo Harrassment
DOT on Photography
Five things Photographers Should do When Confronted by Police
The War Agaings Photographers a Panel Discussion (PDF)
NYPD Officially Ends War Against Photography
PIX-NIX OUTCRY WINS EASE-UP FROM NYPD
Added Dec. 14, 2009 | British Journal of Photography | Met Police re-issues guidelines on use of anti-terrorism legislation on photographers
Added Dec. 14, 2009 | Guardian | I’m a train spotter.
Added Dec. 14, 2009 | Photo This and That | Cops & Togs

I will continously add more sources the moment I come accross them. If you have one or if you know one that isn’t in the list please let me know, so I can include it the list, or you can post it on as a comment below. Thanks.

Totalmente de acuerdo, a veces llevar una cámara en un sitio público crea la sensación a la gente, vigilantes, etc de que llevas un arma…
Gran fotografía y gran tratamiento.

This photo is very intense. I love the lighting composition; you mixed the greens, grays, and black very well together. The image you’re trying to portray is pure genius. Especially the fact that you used silhouettes instead of the actual figures of the people. It looks GREAT! (:

Check this one out. This is crazy, police officers must take lessons so they will know what they are doing. I hate to say this, but there are times that they seemed so stupid.
