http:\/\/photographernotaterrorist.org<\/a><\/p>\n Photography is under attack. Across the country anyone with a camera is targeted as a potential terrorist. This campaign is for everyone who values visual imagery and press freedom.<\/p>\n Come to the launch party for this new campaign on Saturday the 8th of August at The Foundry http:\/\/www.foundry.tv<\/a> in East London from 6pm till late.<\/p>\n >><\/p>\n Nottingham photographer \u2018Tash\u2019 also\u00a0 strongly supports the British Journal of Photography Campaign.<\/p>\n Police routinely invoke anti-terror legislation to prevent photographers from carrying out their work, and photojournalists are constantly filmed at public gatherings and their details kept on an ever-growing database. Tourists, particularly foreign tourists, are also targeted by police, as was the case with an Austrian father and son recently who made the mistake of photographing a building of an extremely sensitive nature\u2014Walthamstow bus station.<\/p>\n Put simply, Britain has become a no-photo zone, and so if you fail to comply, you may find yourself liable to attack, arrest or harassment. Recognising that Britain is not the only country where such a draconian anti-photographer culture is developing, the British Journal of Photography is beginning an international visual campaign to raise awareness.<\/p>\n \u2018Not A Crime\u2019\u00a0 http:\/\/www.not-a-crime.com<\/a><\/p>\n The fight-back begins here \u2013 BJP 15 July<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.bjp-online.com\/public\/showPage.html?page=865556<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Proud to announce the formation of a new campaign for photographers\u2019 rights \u2013 I\u2019m a Photographer, Not a Terrorist! http:\/\/photographernotaterrorist.org Photography is under attack.
