It sure is a bad trip, here in Quebec, to see such a "lay down" from the Supreme Court. I hope our ever esteemed and beloved politicians take-on the topic in a creative way that will allow "street photography" to thrive on (and tourists not to fear being sued: Quebecois people are NOT that prone to trust lawyers..., even less judges and politicians, who often get rated below (or with) prostitutes by French speaking people ! ). My personal attitude is that if you look so bad or are attired in such a way as to attract the photographic eye of a "street photographer", so "interesting" as to get published, something is wrong. YET, I suspect a high politics game, whereby some politician or Establishment person is trying to avoid the ulterior publication of "candid shots" of himself (herself) that could damage a glorified ego. This goes way beyond "paparazzi" considerations, but the whole Lady Di situation may have had a major and relevant impact as it coincided, more or less, with the general time frame pertinent to the ruling in question. I wonder (and REALLY want to see) what kind of an ugly twerp put out all that money to go through the Supreme Court (u$ually a very co$tly proce$$, ...in Canada at lea$t) over a single photo published in a "vertical market" specialty magazine that had a circulation below 1000 copies ! I assume the photo must have some REAL documentary value, exalted by all this bad publicity. If it didn't, it sure does NOW. So, if you have a "contact" who has a copy of that "hot shot", it would be MOST appreciated if you'd share the Web address with us. We probably all are in for a good laugh ! A thousand thanks, Andre Jean Quintal reply to: quia250249@yahoo.com PS: to avoid trouble, publish the thing from outside Canada (Angelfire or Geocities, for example), while we clean-up out our "house" and remember we are supposed to be a democratic society.
