new york subway photography ban lifted — japanese tourists rejoice
When I was taking a video production course, I decided to do a short commercial project on the New York MTA. I was shooting video of subway trains in motion, and as one of them came to a stop, this conductor screamed at me for taking video. Little did I know that the video I was shooting could be used to aid terrorist scum. Anyway, things are a little bit more sane now, thankfully, and now those of us who are creative are allowed to take pictures on the subway and in stations again. That’s really good, because I think the subway is a fascinating place for photography — the people, the textures — it’s a shame you can’t capture the smell on film or compact flash card.
