But, from what I've heard anecdotally, if you present a profile other than snap happy tourist you may have an uncomfortable conversation with a police officer. And tripods and flashes are banned without a special permit.<BR/><BR/>That's the situation, offically, in London too. Permits are required for photography, but according to a Transport for London spokesperson (in a conversation with a friend) if you are taking "tourist pictures" there's no problem. So, presumbably, you know you've become a decent photographer when you start getting in trouble with the law.nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05493739609795650739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11454358.post-1140295075472504452006-02-18T12:37:00.000-08:002006-02-18T12:37:00.000-08:00Most readers are anonymous.

But thanks for the note. <BR/><BR/>Several months ago, I posted something about NY's laws against shooting photos in the subway. The laws were eventually rescinded, I believe.Lord Zimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472215278305032974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11454358.post-1140177160604418512006-02-17T03:52:00.000-08:002006-02-17T03:52:00.000-08:00Well -- it's not me (the anonymous reader, that is...Well -- it's not me (the anonymous reader, that is). I use firefox, or safari. <BR/><BR/>But aren't readers supposed to be, sort of, anonymous? Its a brave new world if writers can hide their identities, but readers are identifiable.<BR/><BR/>Which, somehow, reminds me of a what a policeman in England said when I asked if was OK to take pictures in a train station "It's alright, as long as you're not covert about it." So, eschew small cameras.<BR/><BR/>Anyway -- thanks for the report on New York in the snow. For the third time in recent years I've been out of town for the big blizzard.nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05493739609795650739noreply@blogger.com
