Normally I don't post my journalism shots here, but I thought this one was important.

I'm not a flag waver.
I'm not a conservative.
I'm not a sheep.
I am disgusted at this country.
I am a patriot in the true sense of the word.

The elite have polluted this country.
The masses have fed on it.
The individuals must take it back.

It's a good message, but there's nothing ironic about it...

beautiful composition.

try putting a tripod down anywhere in Washington, DC :)
i can be scary too, but if the guys telling you to stop are wearing uniforms and big guns it sorta becomes futile.

A friend of mine had to take pictures of bones for an assignment, so he stopped on the side of the road in Hamm Lake, MN and took a few shots of a deer carcas. A cop pulled over and told him that it's illegal to take pictures of roadkill in Hamm Lake...my friend asked him what he was going to to about it and my friend got arrested...for taking pictures of a dead deer. This country has some messed up shit going on, but that was crazy.

Great shot and cutline information Conan and know that you don't stand alone. The problem is that change requires resources and leaders, which it would appear we are a bit short of.

Unfortunately it isn't just the US that has the security mafia going on. I was down at the Opera House a few weeks ago shooting a friends band when I was told that I was not allowed to photograph anything in that area. When I pointed out that I was on public property and that by law I could shoot whatever the hell I wanted to, and asked to either speak to the manager or show me where in writing they had permission to prevent photographs being taken, he ran off. I may not be as big and scary as a security guard but I can be loud and push my rights when I need to.

Download the PhotoshopUser Tv Episodes 141 and 142. 141 has a lawyer talking about the rights of a photographer and does briefly talk about this very thing.

In short, cops can't take your camera either.... legally.

In adulthood I've realized how afraid I can be of getting in trouble sometimes. I have to remind myself that I am elite* and can do what I want within limits. An conscious awareness of the legality of an action certainly imparts a level of boldness.

Amazing picture though.
