NYPD Supports Subway Photographer |

Posted by Widecab5 on Sun Jul 26 11:22:28 2009 I was out cruising the V Train on Friday afternoon for a few digitals.While at Rockefeller Ctr. southbound, there was a ruckus on the northbound side between an Asian male toting an SLR camera and a black male who was evidently a passenger waiting for a train. The passenger, stating that he was an "American," loudly rebuffed the photographer's attempt to line up for a shot of an approaching train, imploring to one and all that "YOU CAN'T TAKE PICTURES IN THE #### SUBWAY, OR YANKEE STADIUM OR ANYWHERE." The photographer retorted that he certainly could. The passenger reiterated himself, growing slightly physical, the photographer stood his ground. After more loud interplay, the photographer went up the stairs and located two officers. Out of sight, he informed them of the situatiion and asked if photography was still legal. He was informed it was. Back downstairs the ugly exchange continued, until the two officers finally arrived on the scene. The passenger pled his case, the officer quoted the law, and the photographer shrugged. Two trains (a D and a B) then blocked my view. After they passed, the officers and the passenger were gone, the photographer was finishing up (presumably after getting the desired photos) and making much more pleasant conversation with another passenger. And so it goes... Regards, George Chiasson Jr. (Widecab5@aol.com) |
