Newsflash

I now interupt this advenuture to comment on developments back home (and it's not iPhone related). Tommy (and a friend via IM) sent me the same New York Times article about restricting filming and photography in New York.

I actually don't think it's going to make a difference to 99% of folks. Firstly, you already need a permit and it's free from the city and or Parks Department with a little faxing back and forth. Film crews have always had to have that insurance and most professionals, the folks who'd be shooting for more than a half hour at any given spot, should already have the insurance required. In short, I think it's much ado about nothing. The average photographer won't be affected at all. Jaywalking is illegal too.

If it's all just more security theatre, I think it's stupid and ill conceived like most so-called security measures. Google proves the point beautifully with it's Street View.

Selfishly, it would make it just a touch, and I mean a touch, harder to do the Streetstudio in New York but hey, we did that already. ;-)

Make pictures.
