Fotografiskt

Antiterroristlagstiftningen i Storbritannien ställer till med problem för fotografer, vilket en kampanj vill uppmärksamma:

Photography is under attack. Across the country it that seems anyone with a camera is being targeted as a potential terrorist, whether amateur or professional, whether landscape, architectural or street photographer.

Not only is it corrosive of press freedom but creation of the collective visual history of our country is extinguished by anti-terrorist legislation designed to protect the heritage it prevents us recording.

This campaign is for everyone who values visual imagery, not just photographers.

We must work together now to stop this before photography becomes a part of history rather than a way of recording it.

Idag klockan tolv, alltså om en dryg timme, anordnar kampanjen en fotografisk flashmob på Trafalgar Square. Följ utvecklingen via Twitter eller på Flickr.

jag är inte i London utan i Lund men i vanlig ordning tar jag med mig M3:an på min lördagspromenad om en stund. Det känns skönt att det är tillåtet …

Update Evenemanget tycks ha lockat många människor.
