Taking pictures in Public places - Know your rights

[mickiaston]

Guys, Join an online campaign called ' I'm a Photographer not a Terrorist. The name says it all really. I, like many of you, am getting mightly fed-up with being viewed with suspicion every time I use a camera in a public place. As photographers we have to register our outrage at this increasingly prevailing antipathy to our profession. Joining a nation-wide campaign is one way to register our disapproval. Micki
