Section 76
Just thought I would share this with you as it was a topic on conversation last night. There is still no law preventing people taking photographs in public however as of this Monday the new counter terrorism act has become law and section 76 now prevents the taking of images of any member of the armed forces, the intelligence service or police officers. Though this should have no direct effect on us photographers, so say the Home Office, there is a lot of concern that this is going to give the police yet another reason to confront photographers and stop them from shooting in public spaces.
A Start
Welcome to the Fishbone Photo Arts group blog. It's a little rough round the edges but I think it should offer the group a great way to communicate with each other during the month. Thanks to everyone who attended last night- It far exceeded my expectations and I think a lot of people left believing it was a really positive experience. I hope you all decide to come again next time - Tuesday March 17th is the date of the next group. Please feel free to spread the word -though you may have to bring your own seating!!!
I know a few people had to leave a little earlier than most and a few people left before it was decided on the group project for the month. It was very diplomatically decided by Ben what project to embark on (drawn out of a hat). So this month's project is 'Self portrait'
Don't feel you have to take part in this one- if you are busy doing your own thing then great but if not have a go and bring along something to show next time.
If anyone has any links they want to add to this site just let me know (kate@depict-photography.com)
