DC Area Photographers Stage Independence Day Photo Shoot
From Associated Content:
“Washington DC area photographers, fed up with developers and security officials attempting to restrain their right to take photographs in public spaces, will challenge the bans this Independence Day in the true spirit of American patriots.
Since 9/11, photographers have increasingly complained about security guards and others interfering with their right to photograph in public spaces. When amateur photographer Chip Py was stopped in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, a Washington, DC suburb, in mid-June by a security guard who told him that photography was banned in downtown Silver Spring, his fellow photographers sprang into action, planning an Independence Day protest in the style of our founding fathers.”
