Afghan groups were really angry at the BBC’s depiction of the Taliban as positive. They marched from Hyde Park, up to the BBC and on to Trafalgar Square.

Matthew worked in the building where I work. He recently joined the National Guard. He was a few months away from his basic training in Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri, and we talked for awhile about the duties of the National Guard.
"If you don't mind my asking," I asked "Why did you join the Guard?"
"Well," he replied,"I felt it was my duty."
Take care, Matthew, and thanks much. Remain well. Stay safe.

The Disneyland Hotel
Anaheim, CA
[Last week's schedule for Disneyland Hotel shots got all screwy, so here's one more before we move on]
Another in the tripodless Disneyland Hotel series, this shows of the central area including the Southern pool, Tangaroa Terrance/Trader Sam's complex, Monorail Slides, and Frontier Tower in the background.
Side note: This photo set was a bit of an experiment. While the last year+ of my photography without using a tripod has shown me that it's possible to do even night photography without one, this wasn't about proving that. This was about figuring out whether Disneyland security's increasing photographer harassment was them being anti-photography in general, or more specifically anti-tripod. So I went to an area that seemed to be drawing lots of security guard attention (the Disneyland Hotel) with the express intent to *blatantly* photograph for hours, but without a tripod. Should I get harassed, it would show that Disney is cracking down on photography in general. If not, it provides some indirect evidence that it's really the tripods that are grabbing their attention.
The conclusion: I photographed for hours without a single of the many security guards that walked by me even giving me a 2nd look. In contrast Mr. Greening took photos of the hotel the night before me *with* a tripod and was apparently confronted by security (although he did some clever permission asking to be able to continue shooting with his tripod). Far from scientific, but I think it's clear that the tripods are the thing drawing the negative security attention. Is it right? I don't think so, but it is what it is.
Tripods are basically an alarm that summon security guard attention at this point, and stomping one's feet about the policy on Disney's website ultimately doesn't matter to these guys. If we want to start a dialogue with Disney about this, it needs to happen at a level higher than the Joe Securityguards walking the park every night. While tripods may not be "officially" banned a la Tokyo Disneyland, there is an increasing de facto tripod ban that seems to be slowly creeping in.
(Also: these are just my thoughts: I'm not telling anybody what to do, I DO like using tripods at certain times, and any other disclaimers needed to not offend anybody. I'm just trying to start a dialogue with my fellow photographers.)

Good news is something very rare in Bangladeshi newspaper. Yet, people prefers to be updated about country and the world.
This was outside NAMO Tuscan Grill in the Rex Hotel. We were here to make a dinner reservation. The restaurant guard was having an afternoon siesta.
Give a Vietnamese a seat and the first thing to happen is the sandals come off.
American viewers may not appreciate this, but gun ownership in the Philippines is far more ubiquitous than elsewhere in Southeast Asia (and which I presume is due to its colonial history). Every security guard carries at least a holster. Often with bullets, often with a pistol. I had this photo shown to a professional appreciator of photography. He did not understand why I put so many elements in this photo. I think it all fits together. Cleaning the streets this way is also something you see regularly everywhere in Southeast Asia. Oh, and the security guard was a nice guy. As usual in the Philippines he had no issues with having his photo taken. Salamat, Sir!
Cebu is covered in my new book Queen of the South. It contains 66 B&W-photographs of natural beauty, grungy cities and interesting people in the Visayas in the Philippines.
Queen of the South is sold at cost price with a small mark-up. The mark-up will benefit in full some of the slum dwellers featured in the book and in this set.
Besides via Blurb, you can now also purchase the book via Amazon. There is a premium, however, and you cannot choose a hardcover edition.
Wittevrouwensingel, Utrecht
[ISO 5000 and f/4, but the bright lights fooled the camera's meter into underexposing.
I'll be back with a tripod for a multi-second second exposure at ISO 100, and f/6.3 the next time we have a clear, deep blue night sky]
Out now: Big Mango, a 40-page book of colour and black and white photos, taken on random walks through Bangkok during the protests against the government of Yinluck Shinawatra in December 2013.
Still available: : Queen of the South: 57-pages of B&W-photographs of natural beauty, gritty cities and interesting people in the Visayas (Philippines).
Both are available through www.blurb.com.
I was out photographing round Canary Wharf last Saturday. I spotted this good composition with reflections in the skyscraper glass, got lined up right just as a security guard came rushing over to me shouting Stop, Stop, Stop …(click, click, Click) ….Stop. Bear in mind this was not Bejing but a financial district in London. The really hilarious bit was that when I pointed out that I was entitled to take a picture in a public place he got a bit desperate and said it was a very special building. In fact it was not MI5 or similar but an ordinary Bank.
The problem with Canary Wharf is that it is a purpose built development and the developers retained ownership of the streets and pavements rarther than having them publically maintained. However they give free access to 10’s of thousands of members of the public daily, most arriving through 2 public train stations with no restrictions notified. I do not think it has ever been tested in court but I suspect a Judge with any common sense would rule such a location to be effectively a public area for the purpose of freedom to take photographs.
For more of a rant about persecution of Photographers by Security Guards and some of the legalities see my latest Blog Post at edwinjonesphotography.com/blog/2014/3/stop-forbidden-picture
The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle lens at 10mm. 3 raw images 2EV spacing. Opened in Photoshop first and each image noise reduced with Noiseware Pro and saved as tiffs. The picture was enhanced with HDR processing, Topaz and Photoshop to bring in more detail. The Contrast Optimiser setting was used in Photomatix for a natural look. The image was converted to Mono in Photoshop with the Black and White adjustment layer.
