I got an email from a friend telling me about this plan to set up a Eco village in London under the banner of "The Land is Ours" The idea being to reclaim dissuesed land and use it for something useful like growing veg for the community etc. What a good idea!

On the 1st April 2009 President Obama is in London and the G20 finance ministers are too and so are the protesters. So the 4 of us (photographers) at Radical Images are getting ready to cover the G20 protests so are looking at safety in the streets, but this one might be a bit over the top as a guide CPJ Safety Guide
When you hear photographers talk about 'wiring from the field' more often than not we are in a field so signal strength and upload speeds have often been poor. We have also been testing and checking our remote editing kit and although we are in the heart of the City of London signal problems still happen so we will be in a cafe with wireless access problem solved :) (but don't tell Purple Tim)

Editorial Photographers UK (EPUK) A pro based discussion group are so concerned over infringement of photographers rights they have launched www.photorights.org to keep track of access denial incidents and try and provide some basic information about what photographers may legally do.
This service is not just for the seasoned pro, but for anyone who wants to legally take photos in public places
So far, these incidents are getting recorded piecemeal, if at all, at dozens of different locations, where everybody grumbles for a bit and then gives up.
Photorights is open to pro’s and amateurs as both groups are encountering problems, and wants to become *the* UK access monitoring site, so we can amass evidence for effective use, press reporting of the issue, and public debate.
So if you have problems with police, private security, members of the public or jobsworths please report it in the forums.
So if you use a Canon G9 or any other camera; go and bookmark this site now, you never know when you might need it!

An industry backlash against police treatment of photographers picked up the pace this week as a delegation of photographers led by Labour MP Austin Mitchell sought to lobby the Government over the issue.
The MP for Grimsby has already tabled an Early Day Motion at the Commons which has been signed by 131 MPs, giving it wide cross-party support.
Photographers have complained that the police either do not understand or ignore the rules of engagement at public events.

Just found this post on the BBC about the dwindling rights of photographers and how they are being stopped from enjoying there hobby or profession.
Strange how yesterday i saw a CPO (community police officer) taking pictures of a parked van with mirror tinted windows, with a point and shoot.
