If you’re anywhere in most of the country, you’re experiencing regular, crushing bouts of snow, cold and ice, including the most recent “monster storm” that made tracks from Texas to Maine. When will it end??

How Well Does NJ Transit Know the Law?
Published January 31, 2011 Photographers' Rights 4 CommentsTags: New Jersey transit, Newark, PATH, Penn Station, photographing transit
A self-described train enthusiast took it upon himself to test the people who work for New Jersey Transit on if they know their own photo policy. Pretty uneventful, except for a PATH police officer who gets a little handsy and invokes the Patriot Act.
PATH Police: You’re in a train station here, OK?
Guy: OK.
PATH Police: It is part of the Patriot Act if you want to look it up you can, OK?
I can’t find where it says you can’t film train stations in the Patriot Act. The PATH does have its own policy barring photography, which is outrageous considering it is a public entity. (I know firsthand because I was ordered to stop taking photos of my nephew in a PATH station.) It’d just be nice if these people knew the laws regarding their jobs, though.

Intrepid Ice Cream Fan Found, Explained
Published January 28, 2011 Photography Leave a CommentTags: man with ice cream, snowstorm, Washington Post
When Washington Post editors send out a photographer to get the age-old “snow is falling” photo, a coatless man crossing the street with an ice cream cone in hand is not what you expect at all. That’s the shot Ricky Carioti got, which landed on the front page of the Post yesterday. So, naturally, people were curious and amused and, then of course, as what follows in our digitally mad world, they got creative, photoshopping the guy onto nonsensical backdrops.
The WaPo’s Story Lab blog got to the bottom of it: 25-year-old lawyer Zach Burroughs just wanted some ice cream.

Defining LA, One Person at a Time
Published January 28, 2011 Photography Leave a CommentTags: Fallen Fruit, I Am Los Angeles, Joris Debij, Jules Dervaes, Sean Martin, video series
The “I Am Los Angeles” video series was created by transplanted Dutch journalist Joris Debij who apparently was in search of the answer to the question,”Who Is Los Angeles?”
So it turns out Los Angeles is Sean Martin, a fixed-gear cyclist; and Fallen Fruit, the nonprofit that tracks the city’s free fruit-picking opportunities; and Jules Dervaes, the planet-saving urban homesteader.
As Dervaes says, “We don’t fit the LA mold.” Maybe that’s the motto of the series…because when outsiders think of LA there are the obvious stereotypes. But if you actually spend time there you realize that is just a sliver of the population, and there’s a lot more.
(And if you shoot, edit or compose, they are looking for collaborators too.)
