Thanks an absolutely incredible story John....BTW I Do beleive the law would support you if this ever becomes an issue...almost anything in public sight can be photographed and used however...it's a little touchy with people...antoher story...I was on a public street in Hollywood photographing a really cool design building when approached by a security guard asking if I had a permit...there was another guy there taking photos...he was quite intimidated by the guard...however, I informed the guard that I was not on private property so I was free to do as I please with my photography...he walked away
First of all Larry, congratulations to you and your wife, you won! Now here's a cute little story, MY wife and I pack a lovely little picnic lunch for our Brooklyn visit to the park (3 hrs away). As soon as I pull out my camera, WHAM two city Park police want to know who was going to see the photos, the purpose of taking the photos and if I had a permit? Seems, if any image of the Bridge is displayed commercially, the taker needs to file for a permit. If your elementary school student wants to do a show 'n tell, yep you guessed it, a picture taking permit! If you Larry Fosse were to have evil intentions of wrongdoing....nope, no permit required, since the image would probably not be shown commercially (at least not initially). And oh btw Larry, it's not my bridge. ;) -john
Thanks J...My wife got into an argument with a tour guide the last time we were there when he claimed The Brooklyn Bridge was the first suspension bridge...thnkas for the photo...BTW your's isn't blue
