Empathy is a virtue, young grasshopper.

One Small Step for Man, One Giant Leap for iPhones?
Published October 18, 2010 Documentary , Photography Leave a CommentTags: Brooklyn Space Program, iphone, Luke Geissbuhler, space, weather balloon
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)
Published October 18, 2010 Photography 2 CommentsTags: ACLU, Antonio Musumeci, courthouse, NYCLU, photographing federal buildings, settlement
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.

“Officer Bubbles” Will Sue You
Published October 17, 2010 Harassment , Photography , Police , Police Harassment , Protests , Rally Leave a CommentTags: Adam Josephs, G20, Officer Bubbles
Remember in the old days when cops would raid your parents’ home and charge you with illegal wiretapping after you uploaded a video to YouTube, showing one of America’s ‘finest” violating the law, wielding a gun, killing someone, or just acting like a power-tripping thug who should not be wearing a badge?
Well, that’s like soooooo two months ago.
Because if you upload a video of a cop acting like a jackass there is now the possibility that you could be sued by the officer. And if you leave disparaging comments and make your own parody videos ridiculing the cop for his egregious behavior, YOU WILL BE SUED for defamation in a frivolous lawsuit.
In his statement of claim, Josephs calls the cartoons and several comments “devastatingly defamatory,” alleging they have brought him “ridicule, scandal and contempt both personally and as a member of the (Toronto Police Service).”
Boo hoo.
