I’m a New York City-based filmmaker (Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Shortbus) and I just want to register my concern about the new public photographic rules you are considering. As vaguely as they are written now they threaten the very special relationship that amateur/fine arts photographers and filmmakers have with this city. I urge you to be more specific and realistic in creating generous rules that encourage artists and chroniclers to be more creative, not less.
