“I’m a Photographer, Not a Terrorist! – A new campaign for photographers rights” – photolegal.com
If you are in London this Saturday (08.08.09) and care about photography – and press freedom – this is the event for you! Why? Read on:
“Photography is under attack. Across the country anyone with a camera is targeted as a potential terrorist. This campaign is for everyone who values visual imagery and press freedom.
“This campaign will co-ordinate a collective response to the restrictions on photography across the country. We will be organising events where photography is restricted to show how pointless these restrictions are. It will also be an information resource for photographers’ rights and will map areas where photography is restricted.”
And much, much more.
