PFA Silver Spring, LC Photography Policy Statement

By wayan on June 29th, 2007

Below is the Downtown Silver Spring Center policy statement we received from PFA Silver Spring, LC:

“We welcome photography, videography and other filming at our Center. We permit all of these activities, as long as our patrons and tenants are neither harassed nor photographed or filmed over their objection. Also, any activity which would interfere with pedestrian or vehicular movement requires advance management approval. We continue to encourage patrons to report inappropriate behavior to police and security personnel. We reserve the right to modify this and other policies.”

Public space is public space, not subject to change-at-a-whim corporate policy. Photographers should have the common decency not to photograph persons, no matter who they are, that don’t want their picture taken. Customers of tenants and employees of tenants of some corporate concern should not be harrassed. On the other hand, photographers should not be harrassed by members of a corporate concern’s private army, who carry out the orders of some disciplinarian desk jockey.
