Pictures: “Mass Photography Demonstration Against Police Stop & Search Powers” – gettyimages.com
Here are a few of the better press clippings I have found of the 3,000 strong I’m a Photographer, Not a Terrorist! event in Trafalgar Square yesterday. It is a shame that the BBC News 24 broadcast is not up online as I have been told it was pretty good. Feel free to let me know of anything I have missed that is worth taking a look at. It was great to see so many photographers in one place – until next time!

A good event, more people than I expected to be homest. I noticed at least three lot’s of photographers board the 08:18 from Derby with PHNAT T-shirts and Hoodies. I hope it get’s the message across because something has to.
I was also pleasedd to see a reporter and photographer from a Russian Magazine, they said they had a great interest in what was happening to civil liberties in the UK.

Well worth the 158 mile trip from Stoke in the car.
Will be writing an article for a US photo magazine also later this week. Great day. It should be a regular event.
I really enjoyed it and it was good to see it stayed so good-natured throughout. All the organisers should be very proud.
Tim.
