I admit that I would do anything to achieve the completion of my photography portfolio even if it means that I have to sneak my camera inside the house of the holy.
A woman in a blue tank top asked us if we read the signs: “Strictly No Shooting, No Cameras Allowed.” Yes, we did but we still have to shoot because that is what we study. It was a photo shoot opportunity, an opportunity to express ourselves, to tell a story and to record history.
Is it really that bad?
Why should photographers be asked of a permit every time they take pictures? Why should a stand or tripod not be allowed? I mean I don’t have the habit of using a flash why not allow me to use the tripod? Why is it that every time a security guard sees a DSLR they always come to you and ask you to stop taking pictures because you do not have a permit but they ignore those who take snapshots with their digital cameras?
Do photographers always have to pay or to have a permit in order to capture art?
