Camera Policies in Privately Owned Public Spaces

Mark Goldstein | Global | August 23, 2004 | 1 Comments

Thomas Hawk has got sick of being prevented from taking photographs by over-zealous coffee-shops and museums, so much so that he’s started a resource to record camera policies in various San Francisco locations.

“My concept is to begin a resource for photoblogers, in San Francisco initially, but more broadly later, to point out the camera policies of various public spaces in privately owned venues. I will continue to update this document as I continue to research this important issue in the Bay Area and abroad. I welcome comments on the project and feedback on the idea.”

Sounds like a good idea that could work on a more global scale.

Yes, it saddens me that as years pass, urban and street photographers are banned from taking pics in many places more and more. At the end, we will be only permitted to take mediocre photos of flowers, pets and family.
