Photographer's Rights?

MichelinMan · 08-15-2008, 10:31 AM

So I stumbled across this article on Slashdot this morning:

Slashdot | Photographers Face Ejection Over Lenses

And it brings a good question to light:

What rights do photographers have? Where is the line drawn between public and private? What "moral" lines should we not cross? Have you ever taken a photo you considered to be questionable?

I for one am printing out the following documents and will be carrying them with me in my backpack for all relevant future shoots:

Photographer Rights:

and
http://www.krages.com/ThePhotographersRight.pdf

Property Release:
Digital Photography Applied - Property

Basic Model Release:
NYIP - Model Release Form - A Basic Model Release Form for Use in Photography Sessions and Photo Shoots

Title 42 Description:
US CODE: Title 42,1983. Civil action for deprivation of rights

What is your take on it?

I am glad to see you are hard at work at the new job :| But I do hate that I can't take my camera to a Seahawks/Mariners game... even though many point and shoots can zoom in farther than any of my lenses.

i took a girly for a ride down to a game recently and they never even asked what was in my backpack (i had my tank bag with the straps on). i took my camera and both kit lenses and no one said a thing.
