[Leica] Foto worth it

[bdcolen at earthlink.net (B. D. Colen)]

First off, Penn Station - Second off, it is indeed now illegal to
photograph in, around, or of the transit facilities. I had an assignment
to shoot people smoking, and one of the places I went to was the Port
Authority Bus terminal. I was hassled TWICE by cops and once by a cab
dispatcher while shooting people OUTSIDE the terminal. The cops were
surprisingly polite and nice about it, but not fooling around.

And, yes, it's ludicrous. The scary reality is that places like Penn
Station and Grand Central are entirely unprotected, and yet THEY worry
about someone taking photos.

I like the photo.Grand Central Station? I didn't know it was illegal to
take photos there. I take them all the time in the station proper. 

If it is illegal--probably becaue of terrorist worries--it probably will
keep only the law-abiding from having photos of it. Seems to me anyone
determined to have a photo of the place could use a cell phone or some
leftover from the Cold War or simply go on line and find the plans for
the place somewhere. 

What do the rest of you think?

As for whether it was worth it, that is a question you'll have to answer
for yourself.
