I guess it makes sense with all the added post 9/11 security measures,
but I have been questioned numerous times taking photos of manhole
covers in the city. I've traveled the world taking pictures - not
always of manhole covers of course - and never been hassled, but it's
happened on more than one occasion here. I suppose photagraphing
anything that's affiliated with the 'workings' of the city could be
presumed as suspicious activity. This hasn't dampened my enthusiasm,
I just thought it was interesting to share.

Speaking as one who's been stopped by everyone but cops, I don't think it
has anything to do with 911 any more. It's just a golden opportunity for
every unemployable who can find a pencil. And it never occurs to the
idiots
that a terrorist would ever tell a lie. OTOH, if I had a choice between
talking to photographers on the street or checking sneakers at the
airport,
the choice would be obvious. Great website. Bob Hickey


Yeah.....Don't forget, cops get bored too.....Sometimes it's OK to humor
them a little.......
