When people get real stupid about the evil photographers or evil photography we need do just clean up and sue the blazes out of them. If he was less of an amateur he would have the ASMP backing him with their lawyers. http://asmp.org/ Free speech usually wins out. Its easy to get cynical about how things go down around here but attacks against free speech usually in the guise of "privacy" non laws gets shot down in the higher courts every single time. I remain optimistic. We're up against rent a cop mentality. [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
