Posted by BMTLines on Thu Oct 9 08:07:04 2008, in response to Re: NYC Transit TENS website- pictures wanted, posted by SelkirkTMO on Thu Oct 9 03:02:30 2008. Unfortunately I wasn't taking many pictures back then. Any pictures I have from the 60's and 70's would be from my collection and not copyrights that I control. I do have pics from fantrips back in the 70's but they are all on slides (gasp! FILM - what's that!!!) that are now gathering dust in boxes. I keep saying that someday I will buy a proper scanner but I keep finding other things to do with the money...As for my recent pics - I'm sure some might like them but most are not safe for work ;-) Although I do remember visiting Coney Island yard back in the mid 1970's - the tower was wallpapered in Playboy bunnies - how times have changed.... As for the photography issue - I guess it just goes to show how bitter and angry everyone is over the issue. It isn't just here - if you read some of the other photo sites and Flickr you will see how the relationship between authorities of all kinds (management, private security, TSA, police) and photographers has soured. The mistrust runs deep... Unless there are incidents that are not being reported here or on Flickr the photography situation in the subway seems to be improving. Still it will take many incident-free months and perhaps even years until the relationship begins to thaw again. The situation is actually worse on the streets as private security guards seem to think it is their job to prevent photography of their buildings from public sidewalks (but I digress)... Many managements have misinterpreted the law that allows copyrights of architecture. They conveniently forget about the 17 USC 120(a) exemption for photography... |
