Digital BW, The Print

Well said. I was left with the feeling that half a story was being told.

Subject: [Digital BW] Re:Be Careful Who You Photograph in National Parks

 



Our mystery spammer seems to me to be blowing smoke. 

He claims the issue was nudity, but his ignoring the detailed
regulations that professional photographers SHOULD know about, and
that HE admits knowing about (though imagines they're invalid).

Fees are commonly charged for commercial photography or films in most
taxpayer-owned tourist destinations (San Francisco and Manhattan and
National Parks have long been well-known for this). 

The fees (and penalties) pay the taxpayers for the commercial use of
their property (the park). I pay taxes, I own a chunk of National
Park, I expect to be paid when somebody shoots pinups on my property.

Our spammer knew that and is pretending the issue was a prudish Park
Ranger, who he undoubtedly argued with, despite his assertion that
he'd been "cooperative." 

I certainly wouldn't mind nude models near my camp, but our spammer
obviously wobbled describing the situation. Maybe folks wouldn't want
nude models and photographers near their kids camp, especially if the
photographer seemed to be a jerk. 

He left a bug-ridden 3rd-world country (Florida) and came to a better
place (Utah), doesn't want to pay for the privilege or play by the rules. 

The only thing the Ranger MAY have done wrong, if you believe our
spammer, was confiscating equipment...but even that MAY be authorized
, it certainly is for game wardens.

The Mississippi River needs a fence.
