Photography on USA trains and buses

Agree with you. I've never ever felt any negative vibes whatsoever, wherever I've been with my camera, and I am rarely without it. Indeed, photography seems to be getting more and more popular here, with more and more cameras in evidence. Absolutely. Anyone who wants to see how anti-photography other countries are should travel to France and behave exactly as they would in the UK. The reactions of other people - and the authorities - towards street photographers are startlingly different to those in the UK. Though I DO wonder why people bother taking pictures of the lions at the zoo with their mobile phones!! When we visited Marwell Zoo quite recently I must have seen at least 6 examples of the practice. Why? Because they can! ;-) |

"Anastasia Orfanos" wrote in message ... The Americans are going to ban the use of cameras and camcorders on trains and buses. As I understand it, it applies to stations not the actual trains or busses. I also understand that you may get permission easily by showing proper ID. Over here (UK) it is generally considered anti social to take photographs in public. Not from my experience. Most privately owned public places (like shopping malls) do not permit photography. I believe you will find that is more a matter of protecting the stores from the competitors than anything else. Back 30 years ago when I worked in retail, I was on both sides of those rules. You are not permitted to take photographs, in or near school property. School children are not allowed cameras on the premises (including mobile phones containing cameras). Is that surprising? How much of an inconvenience is that? I'll bet parents could get permission in most cases. .... Lets face it, the UK is gradually becoming the new stalinist state. Again, not in my experience. Over the past few years I have been getting less and less bold with my photography..... Gordon -- Joseph E. Meehan 26 + 6 = 1 It's Irish Math |

Each one of these so-called security measures is a win for the terrorists.. We've done far more damage ourselves since 9/11 than the enemy did. Yep they won as soon as we started reacting to the disaster. Most of these "homeland security" measures just take away our freedom and seems to assume everyone is a terrorist. We leave the borders WIDE OPEN yet enact insame measures like this? It seems anything is OK, as far as taking away our personal freedom, as long as it doesn't cost the government any money. -- Stacey |

As of next Monday this area (Brunswick, GA) will be considered as under a
State of Emergency because of the upcoming G-8 conference. Got ID'd taking pictures downtown a couple of weeks ago. Bob "Anastasia Orfanos" wrote in message ...

Photography on USA trains and buses
HeHeHeHeHe ...
First: This "applies" only to "NYC Transit" ... the Political Bureaucracy that runs the public transportation in the City of New York. That's a LONG way from *all* "USA trains and busses" See the phrase "NYC Transit, the division of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority that runs the subways, the buses and the Staten Island Railway, ..." in the referenced URL. Second: At the present, it is just a "proposed" rule/law. Third: Also note the passage "... NYC Transit also proposed banning passengers from using end doors to move from one subway car to another, putting feet up on seats and standing on skateboards on subways or buses, among other changes. ..." Yeah ... Sure ... |

BAN: Photography on USA trains and buses
wrote in message ... Oh BFD. You're right to photograph me will be curtailed. What about my right not to be photographed unless I choose? -------- What right NOT to be photographed? If you are in a public place it don't exist! Are you are absolutely and totally ignorant of the fact that you are probably photographed by security cameras throughout your day - hundreds of times a day - and you just don't know it. So, it's OK to photograph you as long as you don't actually see the camera? Or as long as it's only within the control of faceless and nameless government and commercial hands? BFD eh? IDIOT!!!
