Concerning The spiritual in Art: A Review

*gromyko:icongromyko: reports, September 23
Every work of art is the child of its age and, in many cases, the
mother of our emotions. It follows that each period of culture
produces an art of its own which can never be repeated. Efforts
to revive the art-principles of the past will at best produce an
art that is still-born. It is impossible for us to live and feel,
as did the ancient Greeks. In the same way those who strive to
follow the Greek methods in sculpture achieve only a similarity
of form, the work remaining soulless for all time. Such imitation
is mere aping.

Photography a Crime?

=shatteredlens:iconshatteredlens: reports, December 13, 2004

Photography A Crime?

Photography a Crime?

If the Metropolitan Transit Authority has anything to say about it, New York City shutterbugs will no longer be able to snap away while riding either the subway system or the bus. For the second time in 2004, the camera ban, which applies to both still photography and video, has been brought back to the table by the MTA board. The public is given a 45-day period, starting from the proposal’s announcement on November 24 and ending January 10, 2005, to speak out regarding the possible ban. The following are the proposed amendments:

1050.9.c. No photograph, film or video recording shall be made or taken on or in any conveyance or facility by any person, except members of the press holding valid press identification cards issued by the New York City Police Department or by others duly authorized in writing to engage in such activity by the authority. All photographic activity must be conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Part.

1040.4.f. No photograph, film or video recording shall be made or taken on or in any conveyance or facility by any person, except members of the press holding valid press identification cards issued by the New York City Police Department or by others duly authorized in writing to engage in such activity by SIRTOA or the authority. All photographic activity must be conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Part.
Make your voice heard: email a comment to the MTA.

This is a horrible law. They are probably trying to make sure terrorists can't get layouts or something with cameras. Like that's going to stop anyone.
*Pericles:iconPericles: Dec 13, 2004, 3:30:16 PM
I think this is too "strange".
Especialy the "[...] except members of the press holding valid press identification cards [...]" makes me think that this whole bullshit is about to control the media. Only what the press takes can be controled and get out to the masses. While individual photography (aka. photo-reporters) among citizens will be banned. Sound perfect to me. That's something that Orwell forgot to write down in his 1984 book. :P

I say Fight it back! If I like to take a shoot in the metro it's my right to do so! Isn't america a free land after all? *gets hit with a mallet which is labeled "Wake up to reality"* :P

New York Subways must remain open to photography. It's one of the few places in our world that remain open to the real and surreal. I've never been anywhere that compares. Ever.

Also: there is no way to prevent photographs being taken by people you don't want taking pictures. I have a camera that fits inside a zippo lighter case. Unless you get the general public to do your policing for an unpopular law...and then where are we?

Is there any reason why the law is going to be introduced? Not being an American myself, I don't know the backstory to it.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

WTF the world can think of the most stupidest things to ban for the stupidest reasons... jeez... :O
~nef:iconnef: Dec 13, 2004, 3:36:32 PM
It's banned in the London underground, and although I'm an art student and it would be interesting to take pictures there, I'm glad there's a ban.. It would be really annoying for people to take my picture while I'm just sitting there all standing all squashed. (The subject would get even more cliche'd, now that I think about it.. every other project would be about it >.>;) I'm sure the train drivers wouldn't appreciate a flash shining at them every other station, either.

Not like they can stop photos completely anyway.. what'll they do, confiscate your camera phone? :P
