I'm a Photographer not a terrorist

This subject is rather close to my heart, as I my self have been stopped and questioned, on 4 occasions for taking photographs in public places.
I was even questioned when I took a photograph of shadows being cast on the ground by light coming through the trees! and don't get me started on the security down on the South Bank I've had several run in's with those guys.
I have to say the protest was very well mannered, everyone was so quite and polite, you would not have thought this was about our civil liberties.

It's about time photographers were not harassed anymore, it's got ridiculous.

very interesting story, as well as your work on Heygate Estate. I'm waiting for your next story on this abandoned territory...

Great story, great photos. Saying story makes it sound fictional....ok, great writing. :)
