Photography Is Not a Crime
Barbarella is right, people do not have the right to infringe my right as a photographer just because they "think" they know the law, when in reality they are wrong. Whether Barb sounded smug or not is impossible to determine. Reading Internet text gives you no sense of emotion. When I read it, I hear myself speak calmly to the man, and the entire ordeal sounds rather reasonable. I mean, she did stop shooting the kid, right? Now when YOU read it, you see the heartless witch of the east speaking. Who is right? Barb can work on trying to convey the message more pleasantly, or more apt to be accepted by someone by nature of its tone. However, I think that's exactly what her and David have done, you just can't see it here in text. All this said, the facts do not change. People are crazy paranoid about photographers, and need to be more concerned with things like the food they feed their children, the ethics and morals they teach them, and maybe the amount of time they actually spend with them, vs. the television, daycare, nanny, etc. Newsflash: There isn't a world of child snatchers out there arming themselves with cameras, and even if there were, a camera does not effect your child, you do. It's easy to attack Barb, but even if she was a heartless wench with a smug tirade, it doesn't change the fact the man was wrong- No matter how much you love your child.— June 11, 2011 2:32 p.m.
