Re:Be Careful Who You Photograph in National Parks

2007-10-07 by Clayton Price

Dear Stonieorl99,

Your post about shooting in the National Parks is disturbing, to say  
the least. It's
become an issue for a number of years now, but the lack of rules  
which allowed
the park ranger to make his own value judgement, based perhaps on his  
personal
religious or moral code is outrageous.

I strongly suggest, if you haven't already done so, that you contact  
ASMP, APA, and
PPof A with this information. They have been steadfast in fighting  
these types of
government abuses, which really are values that a few are trying to  
impose on the many!

And as an aside, it would be nice if you would sign your posts with  
your name. Nobody
likes responding to an email nom-de-plume . If this weren't such an  
important issue,
I would not have written back.

Sincerely,

Clay Price

A few weeks ago, I was issued a citation in a national park for
photographing a model without a permit.
The offense was "failure to obtain permit," 36 CFR 1.6(g)(1);
the citation did not mention the law or
regulation that actually required the permit. The citation imposed a
$150
fine, and required a mandatory court appearance. I might have
contested the
charge, but the court appearance would have been in Salt Lake City,
Utah,
and I live in Florida.......
