A rally near the Sydney Opera House yesterday saw 1000 photographers gather to protest the bureaucratic fees and obstacles that increasingly get in the way of photographers practicing their art. Signs read “Capture the Moment not the Photographer”,” Guilty of Promoting Australia” and their were lots of T Shirts with the message “I am a Photographer NOT a Terrorist”. Speakers reminded us of the link between photography and the environmental movement as well as in promoting Australia internationally. Great to see such a good turn out and hopefully sense will again prevail.
