On the heels of our coverage of the protest of the subway photoraphy ban, the Times article about the low-key, but high-flash-quotient protest starts off with, "At a protest by photographers, you see things like a guy taking pictures of a guy taking pictures of a few more guys taking pictures of one another." The protest, organized by Joe Anastasio, attracted a number of photographers, who seemed to some to be either some sort of new breed of subway paparazzi or a motley group of tourists without nametags and a tour leader. Interestingly enough, reports of how many actually showed up vary: The Daily News reports 40 photographers, the Times says 100, while Satan Laundromat (who took the photo above) thinks it was about 75. More pics at Unrelated News, the dart board, Samuel Johnson, Nether World, and Forgotten NY. Plus Good Cow has a film of the protest (WMV).

the village voice is having a 'forbidden photos contest' for those interested: http://villagevoice.com/issues/0423/haber.php#contest
I've posted five of my favorite shots of yesterday's protest at joe's nyc http://joesnyc.streetnine.com/ , and I'm planning to post of few of my 9-year-old daughter's shots. Needless to say, she had a completely different perspective.
A brooklyn guy named Grant posted some terrific subway shots today. http://s93887327.onlinehome.us/ I'm not connected to him, but I thought people would want to check out his shots.
the people running the MTA are idiots.
if you want to fight terrorism, YOU DON'T USE STALINIST SOVIET UNION STYLE CENSORSHIP TACTICS!
the MTA also quietly removed the useful Neighborhood Maps (in digital PDF format) from their website last year. the Neighborhood maps are extremely helpful for the traveler navigating through unfamilar neighborhoods. Although the poster sized version still exists in some stations, having the digital version allowed one to plan a trip quickly and easily.
The MTA already had the manhattan series posted on their website, and planned on including neighborhoods in the outer boroughs, but DUE TO THE MTA'S ASININE FAUX-SECURITY POLICIES THEY REMOVED THEM.
so let met say again.... if you want to fight terrorism, YOU DON'T USE STALINIST SOVIET UNION STYLE CENSORSHIP TACTICS!
FUCK YOU MTA. and FUCK NY STATE, THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE, AND THE LEGISLATURE for locking away all once publically available NY STATE GIS data, and making it OFF-LIMITS to private individuals and researchers.
