This is a letter sent today to the Department of Transportation by Art Spitzer of the Capital Area ACLU. It is in response to ongoing harassment photographers have faced around the DOT headquarters building in Southeast DC, and the insistence by the headquarters' police force that it is illegal to photograph a federal building.
Here's a related photo, and here's the discussion at DC Photo Rights, where you'll find examples of more incidents and a full account of the DOT policy.
In almost every residential building of Banasree has a security guard. Though they are designated as guard, but their range of duties include Caretaking, Bill paying, Premise cleaning etc. They pass quite a busy life actually.
Taken with a DX lens, which is 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR. That explains the vignetting.

Loitering and smoking in Shinbashi on Monday night. Spent a few hours there after a meeting I'd had in Tokyo. Shinbashi is a superb place to shoot in the rain and when the workers are heading home.
Whole load more images from this wander of mine, here:

In the foreground sign for the "Pop Life: Art in a Material World" exhibition
In the background a giant steel structure from "The Unilever Series - Miroslaw Balka: How it is" exhibition. It is 13 metres high and 30 metres long and is sitting on 2 metre stilts. Round the back there is a ramp that lets you inside, into a space of total darkness - it can be quite intimidating. My 7 year old refused point blank to step inside.
This is a long exposure - 15 sec. It was pretty busy so impossible to get the picture without any people in it, you can probably spot the ghosts of people going down the stairs behind the Pop Life sign. I had to take the picture without my tripod, as the moment I set it up a security guard ran to me asking me if I had a press pass. Apparently you are allowed to take photos but if you use a tripod that makes you a professional:-)

Small bamboo made ladder is a necessity in residential buildings to inspect underground water reservoirs, telephone-cable-internet wires etc. When these ladders get shaky, risking an injury from falling is not something anyone want.
Hence, inspecting and fixing the ladder on a regular basis is mandatory.
A security guard in Seoul walks past the site of a demonstration where the demonstrators are nowhere to be found, having apparently left after turning on a loud recording of someone giving an impassioned rant. To me, this seems a bit like cheating...

Lisboa - Portugal - Gare do Oriente
Gare do Oriente is one of the main transport hubs in Lisbon. It was designed by Santiago Calatrava and built by Necso. Finished in 1998 for the Expo '98 world's fair in Parque das Nações, where it is located.
It encompasses a Lisbon Metro station, a high-speed, commuter and regional train hub, a local, national and international bus station, a shopping centre and a police office.
With car crash and other forms of gang smash and grab robberies at luxury stores, many fancy retailers are looking boring and barricaded these days. Chanel has three guards out front of a storefront currently featuring poles and black outer doors.
A security guard in a darkened museum standing under a red security light eyes people entering her exhibit. Yes, this was the light we were dealing with.

You really can't catch her subtle glance unless you press L. So lightbox please.
Looking at this is a waste without it.

Leonor Antunes of Portugal created this piece so I used a qupte from one of my favorite Portugese authors, José Saramago from his novel The Double. This piece is right now available to be seen at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. They are doing a minimalism exhibit and, though I am not a fan so much of minimalism, I did enjoy this piece. It reminded me of gigantic tape loops stretched all over the space. I imagine a horrific and somewhat beautiful sound that would come from these if played again.
I also felt very attached to the quote and like it fits my life in a way right now. Cinchel and I went to see Neutral Milk Hotel at Atheaneum Theater last night. Jeff Mangum ended his set in the only way that he possibly could have, with "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" and I thought how spectacular the lyrics are that the song ends on:
"I'll be laughing out loud.
I'll be laughing with everyone I see.
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all."
I can hardly type... so story will come later... just to say that this started with me taking a photo and ended up with me being beaten up, thrown to the ground and taken away to the police station...
Las Vegas is such a strange place. I wondered to myself as I wandered around how long the normal tourist would stay there. Any longer than a week? Once you've gambled, drunk and seen Paris, Venice and strange B-Grade back alley show, I'm just not sure what else there is to do.
That's why I wanted to take a few pictures of the people who keep the city running, like Leroy. I chatted with a few locals, and they all claimed a brush with fame of some sort or another - Sammy Davis! Elvis! The photo I didn't take was of our housekeeper at the Flamingo Hotel. (Is that the right term these days?). She was tall, very dark black, and had a lovely accent. She had worked in the same job in the same hotel for 30 years. Or was it 40... So many tales!
