Question for the group - how pervasive in Europe is this attitude (LAW)
about getting prior approval for picture taking?  I ask because for most
street photography that I do I never ask and to think that when I finally do
get over to Paris that I will now have to ask permission or even be faced
with this task is daunting.  I understand that the Province of Quebec has
the same sort of law which has made me less enthusiastic about going there
on a photo holiday.

Steve,
They're nice. They remind me of an article in the Brittish magazine "Black
and White" a few issues back. The theme article was about how it is illegal
to take pictures of people on the streets in France without their explicit
permission :) There was some kind of new law or something that just came
into effect. Probably last summer.

Daniel
