We will never know how many photographers are afraid to take their cameras out in public because not all blog about it." Read more about this decision

Regrettably authorities, or would be authorities, are making life miserable for photographers with the intention of making them give up their hobby or profession. What's happening to our freedoms!

Photographers need to know their rights and not be afraid to educate those that don't!
