Photograhy in London
I was disgusted to read on my photography clubs news page that the government have launched a public campaign to make people wary of photographers in public places. Whilst i can understand the risk if someone is walking around taking pictures only of security locations etc that's one thing. But they suggest that if anyone takes any odd photos as well that they should be shopped to the police. This is crazy, there are many photographers that are very creative and sometimes odd shots to a passer by might actually be a fantastic artful shot when it comes out. Not long ago i was going to take a few shots at London bridge station at rush hour to try and effect out (I'm still learning SLR photography) but if I'm honest i was scared of being arrested. Its sad really that thanks to Mr Bin Laden and his army of psychos that the government have taken this ridiculous measure and further still ebbing away at our so called free will.
