In 1961, Eisenhower warned of the “unwarranted influence” of the “military industrial complex”. He and Roosevelt believed fear was dangerous.
Thomas Jefferson said, “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance”. We are deprived of that vigilance if we cannot show a record.
If we must “prove”…”reasonable excuse” (s76), that presumption of guilt is a police state.
Roosevelt remarked, “When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on”.
With many ropes and many knots, we might help each other to hang on. Good luck to all.

Whilst it’s nice being a part of the digital era, I always love taking out the Polaroid camera for that low saturation blurred vintage look! Keep shooting and keep being creative, capture the moment with whatever you have to hand!

Franck Julien is a Photographer, Not a Terrorist.
Big camera, big lens = terrorist. I walk around emblazoned with logos telling people how to get in touch with me, I hand them cards with my contact details on, yet I’m still regularly told that “you can’t take pictures ‘ere mate, I’ll call the police if you don’t stop it”

Carlos E. Ovalle is a Photographer, Not a Terrorist
I have made this portrait in an effort to help the cause and protest against the ever tightening restrictions being imposed upon photographers nation wide.
I study Documentary Photography at Newport University, and am becoming increasingly worried about the measures the police are taking in order to maintain a hold over the public and strip photographers of one of the most candid forms of the medium.

Badly capturing images and fancying myself vaguely competent for just under 40 years now.
Nevertheless, bad photographers remain photographers.
Paul Nolan is a Photographer, Not a Terrorist.
This whole ‘terrorism’ schtick is just an excuse for the state to gather unaccountable power to itself and I’m having none of it.
This seems like an opportune time to quote Gustrav Landauer:
” The state is not something that can be destroyed by a revolution but is a condition, a certain relationship between human beings, a mode of human behaviour, we destroy it by behaving differently, by contracting other relationships.
