Publicphotography.org - A celebration focusing on photographers' rights

[Iguanasan]

Starting to get a little excited.

19 Members on Flickr, 44 Members on Facebook. Starting to promote through my social network. So, I'll tell more than 2 friends... wonder how this will turn out

Way cool - I'll start my promotion likely next week when the blog has a bit more meat on it.

Excellent! As I said, I was a little excited to see it coming together so I couldn't resist starting now as I figured there was enough info for people to figure out what's going on.

I've also edited post 1 for easy access to these summarized links.
Thx - Marko

I have invited pretty much most of my flickr contacts to join the flickr group. I also include a note to invite as many of their contacts as well. I urge everyone else to do the same. So far 12 of them have joined the group.

cool! I've added a few blog posts to publicphotography.org

I also remember this thread form AL a few months ago:

http://www.photography.ca/Forums/f3/...aphy-8265.html


Especially the paragrpah in the link that says

What unusual situations we should be watching for?

Although the chance of such situations occuring is unlikely, we urge you to be alert to any unusual situation.

A suspicious package left unattended in a bus, near a bus stop or in a transit shelter;
A package, bag or other carry-on baggage left unattended at some distance or purposely left out of the way;
A package carrying unusual items such as batteries, electrical wires or containers;
A jittery or nervous individual loitering near a transit shelter or whose behaviour on board a bus appears suspicious, abnormal or out of the ordinary;
An individual taking photos or pictures in a location that has no particular interest, drawing maps or sketches, taking notes or wandering in the same location for an unusually long time;
An unexpected detour of your bus from its regular transit route, unannounced by your driver or an official notice from the operator of the transit system.

Particular interest? Who defines what is of "no particular interest"??? I do all of that downtown every time I go out with a camera!

Hey one more idea...maybe we can move this thread to it's own topic or make a sticky? PublicPhotography.org That way we can add stuff as we go and not clog up General Photography too much?

Good idea but I'll leave that for Marko to decide. Also, as an FYI, I buzzed Thomas Hawk - a fairly well known photographer on the 'net and he put a link to PublicPhotography.org on his site, Thomas Hawk Digital Connection and joined our Flickr group.

Done - I have kept this a sticky in this forum and edited the threadtitle...

Did you think it should be it's own forum or subforum... hmmm?

Btw - I added the Ottawa link and a disney link as well in the publicphotography.org website

Nice Iggy!
