Michael Kamber I Military Censorship

During embeds with the United States military, Kamber was limited in regards to what he was allowed to photograph. One day during his time embedded, Kamber’s unit was attacked by an IED. After a quick recovery from the debris, Kamber began to photograph but the unit captain yelled out to him “no pictures!” Kamber replied “I’m here to do my job and you can take my cameras later.” The U. S. military later warned The New York Times not to publish the photos and also threatened to revoke the paper’s embed access. Mr. Kamber and his editors dug through the images from that day and tried to conform to the military’s requirements. The graphic images were left unpublished.

One Small Step for Man, One Giant Leap for iPhones?

If you haven’t heard the amazing news yet, a father and son team from Brooklyn, NY, had the brilliant idea to launch an iPhone into outer space while recording its 2010 space odyssey. The entire adventure lasted about 90 minutes and covered a distance of 19 miles (approximately 100,000 feet), putting the iPhone into the upper stratosphere where the homemade space capsule was able to capture some beautiful images of space and planet earth.

Settlement Ends Harassment at Federal Buildings (We Hope)

Who wants to shoot some pics in front of a federal building? Because now the government has acknowledged, through a settlement with the New York Civil Liberties Union, that you are allowed to do just that. Funny, you say, I thought that was already my right? Well, it’s not that simple. The NYCLU sued the government on behalf of photographer Antonio Musumeci, who was arrested in November 2009 after recording a protest at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Federal Courthouse in Manhattan.

“Not only will this settlement end harassment of photographers outside federal courthouses, it will free people to photograph and film outside of all federal buildings,” said NYCLU Associate Legal Director Christopher Dunn, lead counsel in the case. “The regulation at issue in this case applies to all federal buildings, not only courthouses, so this settlement should extend to photography near all federal buildings nationwide.”

Sounds like a whole lot of government employees are going to have to be retrained.
