Photographer, Not Terrorist

As regular readers now, I do a fair amount of photography.  Over the last couple of years it’s become clearer that more and more photographers are getting stopped and searched in anti-terror searches and the like.

Amateur Photographer magazine is running a campaign about Photographer’s Rights, (Not that you’d know it from their fucking awful website) and there are a few sites now relating to this problem.

The latest one is “I’m a Photographer, Not  a Terrorist” – and while I’m not a great fan of the emotive title/subject, it’s doing a far better job than “Not a Crime”.

It’s going to be interesting to see how these campaigns work out – and hopefully get a bit of sanity back into life as well. We’ll see.
