Theo Rigby was arrested and held for 48 hours for taking photos in New York. He was there covering the RNC and followed a protest march..
I was thinking of going the New York in March, but maybe South America would be safer for a photographer? I have a chance to go to Ecuador too. Where’d you go?

Street photography on Wikipedia

PictPress – WordPress Gallery Plugin
Oooh, PictPress looks nice but I’ll have to put some restrictions on usage here as convert is such a dog on any system! Hmm, it’ll need some sort of upload facility in the backend too as it’s impossible to create directories in the images folder right now.
