This morning, PetaPixel (one of my favorite photography blogs) featured an item about two photogs who rode around on the Miami city Metrorail snapping non-commercial photos, just to see how far they’d get. Turns out, they didn’t get even to the first stop. Now, that’s problematic in and of itself…non-commercial photography is, in fact, permitted [...]

[cross-posted from DC Metblogs] In recent months, you may have read about photographers who have reported being harassed by Amtrak police/personnel, and sometimes even having their photos destroyed, while trying to work inside picturesque Union Station in DC. Well, Photo District News just tweeted that Amtrak (in cooperation with the National Press Photographers’ Association [NPPA]) [...]
Funny where people end up

I don’t know how much Energy it would cost a bug to walk across this bit of bronze, but I think he might enjoy exploring the relativity equations! (I took this photo with the camera nearly lying on the sculpture’s surface – with just enough distance to accomodate focal length.)

I’m not, like, shooting vets or anything. I think they’ve seen enough gunplay. Anyhow, it’s 2 days late and a million dollars short, but thank you for your service.

Nikon Joy

Joy! Rapture! My Nikon D40 is the best purchase ever! Fantastic photos without even trying. And I haven’t even been outside my apartment with it yet. I love this thing. Christmas list wish: 70-300mm lens. I can’t think of a better way to get out and about, explore the neighborhood and enjoy the autumn!
