In fact, I believe it was illegal for you to do so. The difference between your experience and Max's is simply that some twit decided to harass him, and another twit decided not to harass you - or didn't know that harassment was required. :-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Glenn Stauffer Sent: Sunday, March 13, 2005 7:54 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Almost got arrested for this one On Sat, 12 Mar 2005 22:54:56 -0500, Max Weisenfeld <max_weisenfeld@verizon.net> wrote: > This will be the last picture of mass transit I ever take. > > Was it worth it? > > http://www.leica-gallery.net/max3/image-81088.html > I don't think the photo is much to speak of. If the person walking away were closer and the train in motion or if there were people entering/exiting the train, it could make a better photo. If you were taking the photo to test the system and point out silly security rules, then you need to gather more information to make your experiment interesting. For that, you would have either had to get yourself arrested or at least have a longer conversation with the train conductor. Something to make this a good story. Funny how I can sit in the waiting area of an airport or train station or in a train or a plane and take all the pictures I want with barely a glance as I did this weekend, but a photo on an underground rail platform is supposed to carry some extra bit of sensitive information that we require measures to suppress it. Next time, use a camera phone. --Glenn _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
