I attended a mass gathering today at Trafalgar square, in defence of street photography. Being amongst thousands of photographers was great, and hopefully we got some of our message through to the government and press. I’m a photographer not a terrorist Following a series of high profile detentions under s44 of the terrorism act including 7 armed police detaining an award winning architectural photographer in the City of London, the arrest of a press photographer covering campaigning santas at City Airport and the stop and search of a BBC photographer at St Pauls Cathedral and many others. PHNAT felt that now is the time for a mass turnout of Photographers, professional and amateur to defend our rights and stop the abuse of the terror laws.
