I got a better story for you.
A year ago my brother was getting married so since i'm a professional director of photography on music videos, commercials etc then i also own a nice set of lenses and a nice DSLR. So i bring it to a park overlooking New York and start taking the pics of my bro and his wife in her wedding dress. Soon enough i get approached by the park guy who ask for my commercial permit to take pics. I tell him that those are not commercial pics as he's by brother and i do it as a family favor. The guy was trying to be an asshole and hold me that i have to stop taking pics in which case i asked why isn't he stopping all those people around with small pocket cameras to which if course he had no answer. As i shoot for a living (moving images, but that's not the point) i know the right and responsibilities so i try to be cool and reassure the idiot that this is family we are talking about. So finally the park's manager comes over, the shit gets explained and i keep on taking pics no problem.- are you brown?fooler2
- sorry to sound like a racist, I just remember a story of a minority taking pics in Seattle and getting hassled.fooler2
- no, but to take commercial pics in NYC parks you DO need a commercial pics taking license.pr2
- man, same thing happens in Chicago with this thing: http://www.gallagher…mg33
- They run people off with DSLR's and tripods, but all other cameras are fine. I don't get it.mg33
- well, tripods is yet another story. with no permit you can talk your way out for most situation (pretend u r a student) but u can't use tripodspr2
- but u can't use tripids.pr2

- Yeah, but then again it's easy to get a permit for most places in NYC. It's just the hassle of filing ahead of time...fuckinglol_prophet
