If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

nailing the photographer « Previous | |Next »
October 1, 2009

An example of the attack on photographers in the name of national security that I have mentioned before.

A photographer is arrested by AmTrack security for taking pictures of Amtrack trains whilst taking part in an Amtrak photography contest. It's a witty report from Stephen Colbert (The Colbert Report) at Comedy Central in the US:

This ndicates that photographers are now identified as the terrorists within who are clearly part of sleeper cells that threaten national security. Increased surveillance is required to meet the threats on our street.
