Scott,

Your t-shirt idea is similar to one I came up with last year as New York City was working to restrict the rights of photographers on the streets of the city. http://www.cafepress.com/photosnotacrime

I am torn between

“Tripods don’t shoot people; people shoot people”

and

“Tripods don’t shoot pictures, cameras shoot pictures”

I wanted to go to the seminar today, but my digital photography teacher insisted on having our portfolio review today. I actually considered crashing the seminar in the afternoon when I got out of class. Obviously, I changed my mind, or I wouldn’t be leaving this comment. Come back to CT soon!

It’s a little wordy, isnt it? How about just “Tripod Photography isn’t a crime!”

Scott,

Long time listener, first time caller.

I’ve had similar tripod issues in churches in Europe. The Abbey in Bath says that the city of Bath was sued when someone tripped over the legs of a tripod. You could still use the tripod, just not with the legs extended.

On another note. Just how far ARE you going to unbutton your shirt on the Photoshopuser TV podcast? I hadn’t noticed it until the May 5th episode and you look like you are trying to show more and more cleavage!

I enjoy the blog and the podcast. Keep up the great work.

Glen

I’d really like to see the pics you took of your kids, and how you did them. I have to make a trip to Atlanta in a few weeks and want to take a day (or two . . . lets get real, a few) off the side to take a few pics. I would be really interested in what you do to get rid of /calm /avoid/ etc. the “tripod police.” I also recall you saying something earlier about filing a permit or something? Please more on that.

Gotta say… This hoopla about tripods and terrorists strikes me as much ado about nothing. Is an overzealous security guard really newsworthy these days? Perhaps an antidote will help…

Went thru airport security this past Saturday with a D3, 4 lenses, a flash, and my binoculars. The TSA guy took a look and said “What are you doing?” I said “I’m going to a photo workshop.” He said, “Looks like some serious equipment.” Didn’t touch any of it. “Have a nice day…”

Sorry for the long comment above.

I want to add something. Mangement of that premises contacted me and asked to meeting with them. Then they provided to free passes for another 2 days with coupons for foods.

But the next day the event organizers and the Police banned me and said something which is not appropiate.

Thank you for reading and opportunity to express my feelings.
