Two dozen Brooklyn photographers weathered snow flurries and freezing temperatures on Sunday to make a stand for photographers’ rights.
You gotta love New Yorkers.
The protest was in response to an incident that occurred a week earlier when a Metropolitan Transportation Authority police officer harassed video artist Katherin McInnis, threatening to confiscate her video camera, even though she was filming from a public sidewalk.
And that incident is the latest in a long-line of incidents involving MTA officers.
The photo below was taken by Flatbush Gardener, who gave me permission to post this photo. I like the snow flurries in this photo as well as the way that guy is standing on the railing with the sign that says, “no standing anytime”.

thanks for the shout-out to us nyc photogs! i’m actually the guy standing on the railing. hope that doesn’t get me into trouble…
yeah, we’re wearing jeans, but i have a couple of layers of long underwear on, too! i was out almost 2 hours and was freezing by the time i got inside. maybe “horrid” was too strong, but it was f*cking freezing and windy. ok, maybe i’m a wimp.

Yes, you guys are right. Living down here tends to get you spoiled about the weather.
But I get cold just looking at that picture.
But I’m sitting here in shorts with the windows open.
