In the present times and with recent events as well as in my own experience I have been wondering What can we Shoot? I mean in the US with all this Homeland Security stuff going on, we can't shoot bridges, communications buildings, Federal Court houses (great architexture), Historic Monuments (at least not with a tripod), I was on a trolly trestle for gods sakes! And in a no name little suburb of Philadelphia! Has anyone looked into exactly what we can and cannot shoot? It is getting to the point where I am afraid that if I take my camera out of the house I feel like I am going to get cited or arrested. Is there a list out there? The Whitehouse web site on Homeland Security only tells you how to be paraniod and how to report your nieghbors for suspicious activity. One of the things to look for is someone looking at a site too closely. What the hells is that? A pedestrian looks at things to not trip over them. A photographer studies the light and the angles sometimes for days or weeks. Does this mean we are studying it too closely? Yep, we must be terrorists. This is a serious request for real information. I want to know what I can and can't shoot and I am afraid to ask the authorities because I don't want to end up on some list as a potential suspect or something.
