NEWS. GREAT NEWS!!!!!!! as reported by the AP this Sunday morning.

NYC Abandons Plan to Ban Subway Photography
Controversial Proposal to Ban Cameras in New York City Subways to Prevent Terrorism Has Been Dropped

NEW YORK May 22, 2005 — A proposal to ban cameras in subways to prevent terrorism has been dropped by police and transit officials. The move comes a year after city transit officials came up with the idea to forbid photography, videotaping and filming in subway stations.

The New York Daily News reported in Sunday's editions that police and transit officials said a ban is not needed to secure the nation's largest mass transit system.

"Our officers will continue to investigate and intercede if necessary, if the activity photo-related or not is suspicious," police spokesman Paul Browne told the paper.

  7. ~what I/eye like here most are the two subjects in the frame, both interacting differently to the lens, one running away one staring intently...~
