Atlantic Yards Camera Club Meets [today!] @3pm
not another f*cking blog!
the first (monthly? annual?) meeting of the Atlantic Yards Camera Club takes place tomorrow, Feb 10, 3pm, at the Brooklyn Bears Community Garden, Pacific Street and Flatbush Avenue, entrance on Pacific. If there's *heavy* rain or snow, the meeting place will be Freddy's Bar, 485 Dean, corner of Sixth Avenue.this event is in response to a recent incident involving artist Katherin McInnis, where she was harassed by MTA police for videotaping the Vanderbilt Yard.
i personally have never been approached by police, MTA or otherwise, while out shooting around the Atlantic Yards footprint, but have been told numerous times by rent-a-cops and demolition company foremen that i wasn't allowed to photograph from a public sidewalk, despite that i'm well within my rights to do so.
so, come out and shoot!
