I finally went to see the HCB show and the crowd was very large. Had to jostle for position just see the pictures.
Got tossed by security for snapping a few frames of the staring match between a friend of mine and Marina…Oh well

thanks for sharing your interest in Marina…it was contagious.
Thanks, Emily. But doesn’t Krages talk only about photos taken in a public place? Moma is private property.

I am not a lawyer. That said, I did spend some time working as a photographer for my college’s student newspaper, and I have a personal interest in photography and civil liberties as well.
My understanding of US law is that if you are taking photos on private property, you must stop if asked, and you must also leave the property if asked. However, you cannot be compelled to delete photos or hand over film.
Krages does mention this in that booklet: “Absent a court order, private parties have no right to confiscate your film. Taking your film directly or indirectly by threatening to use force or call a law enforcement agency can constitute criminal offenses such as theft and coercion. It can likewise constitute a civil tort such as conversion. Law enforcement officers may have the authority to seize film when making an arrest but otherwise must obtain a court order.”
I believe this is true regardless of where you happen to be photographing.
Perfect image to close out her performances. She is a remarkable artist. (Great new site, I have been following for years)
Impeccable work as always. I love the new appearance of this web site. Congratulations on a beautiful, simple, elegant and minimalist design.

Matt — I watched a guard stop a girl with a camera and order her to delete the photo she’d taken. I was kinda shocked. Can they do that?
no more clicking on the photo to go to the previous one? life was too easy, eh?
Yeah, I tried to find a way to get that to work, but so far I’ve had no luck. Many things yet to fix, including archives…
Hey Joe, No they cannot make you delete a photo. This is a great resource: http://www.krages.com/ThePhotographersRight.pdf

Joe – this is, as always, an outstanding photo :)
Yeah, I think Chris has it exactly right.
