I'm a photographer not a terrorist
Happy splashers at Budleigh Salterton's Christmas Day swim. But could these photos be illegal under Britain's anti-terrorism laws? So maybe some of the photos that I've taken for this blog do appear without permission. At Budleigh Salterton's Christmas Day swim I did ask various people if I could snap them for an appearance on the web, but should I have asked everyone there, even if they only partially appeared in the background? Many were not wearing wetsuits. http://budleighbrewsterunited.blogspot.com/2009/12/yule-find-its-so-bracing.html Yesterday I read in the Sunday Times magazine an article by journalist Richard Woods with the title 'Photography under threat: The shooting party’s over.' Admittedly it reflected the feelings of writers and photographers who believe that their livelihood is under threat from what they call the 'pixel police' operating under the Terrorism Act of 2000. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/law/article7050481....
