The New York Times has had it with the NYPD blocking its photographers at | The Atlantic
New York Police officers continue to interfere with photographers and reporters trying to cover news, and a New York Times photographer who was prevented from shooting an arrest at an Occupy Wall Street rally last weekend said police had reason to hide their actions from the press.
The department’s treatment of reporters in the field has been so bad, media outlets say, that 13 news organizations signed a second letter to the New York Police Department from a New York Timeslawyer on Wednesday, demanding responses and follow-up after their first scathing criticism of the department’s handling of the press. The new complaint to police comes after two officers prevented Times freelance photographer Robert Stolarik from photographing a protester’s arrest at Sunday’s rally in support of Occupy Oakland, the letter says. The letter, which Capital New York posted in full, cites a Times story that reported “officers blocked the lens of a newspaper photographer attempting to document the arrests.” […]
We’ve reached out to the New York Police Department for comment, and will update this account when they respond.
In which House Republicans attempt to literally throw kids under the bus in the new transportation bill.
My son’s school’s culture was completely changed by a SRTS grant and pedestrian infrastructure around the school was vastly improved. Kids routinely walk and ride bikes to school now and vehicular traffic and idling are significantly reduced, dramatically improving air quality.

In 2006, “Bound for Glory: America in Color” displayed 70 digital prints made from color transparencies taken between 1939 and 1943. The photos not only document life in America, but also the development of a new era — the Kodachrome era.

Before everyone goes WTF. This is another photo done for Guest Directed Self. This is for prompt five which says this:
for portrait number five, i would like you to choose a song that is important to you. find the emotion it stirs up in you and run with it. show me how you listen to it, show me what it makes you feel, show me what it makes you want to do. (for example, if i were to pick a judas priest song, i would ideally take a picture of myself slaying a dragon…but that’s sadly not possible…so i’d take a picture of myself driving down the highway going 88mph and holding my fist up in the style of Rob Halford, rocking out with all of my might.)
for this prompt, in particular, video would be fantastic, because i’m certain that many of you would be inspired to dance, or move around in some manner; however, it is not necessary.
please make sure that in the description of your portrait, you include the artist & song you have chosen as your inspiration.
While I can’t say that any one of these songs are important to me I took this prompt in a different route. I asked tons of people the songs that they found most depressive. The list of these songs (excluding very few) are listed below. I listened to or read each of the lyrics to these songs. There are far far too many sad songs out there and this is how it made me feel. I only had one shot at this photo. So here it is. Guest Directed # 5
Oh Before I go: Thank you everyone that so willing gave songs to this project. It was a huge RUSH.

I have a tendency to jump up and bounce around or dance when a song pops up that I really like or if I’m just feeling good.
Well the dogs, even Ink, don’t even react any more. They just look at me like “oh great he’s doing it again.”

Got a lot of rewriting done. It’s great having a group of people that genuinely supports you. Was also basically told that my weird unstable behaviour was awesome.
