striking that even as they try to increase MTA surveillance, they want to prohibit straphangers from taking fotos.

Actually, since the article said that artists were entitled to permits, I was imagining a mass registration drive. "SUBWAY ARTISTS THRONG CITY HALL."

It's not a law yet, just a proposal by the MTA, and now Bloomberg has come out against it.

I was worried when I heard of the upcoming possible NYC law only to find out I've been breaking the NJ Transit law all along. See http://www.nj.com/news/times/index.ssf?/ba...085040351286192.xml Grr. All the regular conductors and engineers on my regular commuting line know about my camera and shots. No one even told me. I'm going to continue, although I've asked NJT about getting a permit. |

looks like our right to violate others privacy on the subway won't be violated... hurrah! no, really, I mean that... in other news, naked lunch sounds HORRIBLE, and getting to Brooklyn is hard for a lot of us, so I nominated a new venue for meetup...

I'm pretty sure that Bloomberg doesn't get a veto on this, however.

Protest slogans:
Cameras don't shoot people. People shoot people.
If you criminalize cameras, only criminals will have cameras.
You can have my camera when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

okay, ban bad... ban should be protested... Bloomberg doesn't have a veto...
a well known photographer whose name escapes me took some spyshots on the subway in the fifties I think, using a camera placed strategically so he wouldn't have to look through the viewfinder... All portraits... MTA needs to be reminded of the value of this kind of work.
vote for meetup at 11th Street!

That was Walker Evans. He rigged his camera with a periscope like device so he could see what he was shooting and position the frame without pointing the camera directly at the subject.
