For our latest mission, we installed a photography studio on a random
subway car. We claimed that the MTA had hired us to take photos of
every single person who rides the subway and that we'd be producing a
yearbook at the end of the year. Most people were happy to pose for
us, and the resulting photos show just how diverse New York subway
riders can be.

Swell. And when people find out that you were playing them and that the
MTA never hired any photographers, how do you think they will feel?
Will they wonder if you were terrorists or perverts or something? And
the next time some photographer claims to be from Nat Geo or the MTA or
something, how do you think people will react? Will they pose or are
they now more likely to call the cops?


There are some proposed changes to photographic copyright being
debated in the UK which will give the people photographed in such a
way legal redress and may make doing it in the first place illegal.
