The authorities can be quite scary and it's no fun having to sit there and try to explain to them, over and over again, "no really, I was just taking a photo..."<br /><br />Many tourists take it for granted that they can just take photos of things. It's only more recently that even the modern more "Western" governments are starting to crack down on photography (in a way) on account of events like 9/11. Just try to photograph a power plant, for example, it's simply no longer allowed. <br /><br />We have to balance freedom and security, I guess but that too puts a burden on the photographer.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631042606380970249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3285530.post-32676137171620231952012-07-04T17:10:22.828-05:002012-07-04T17:10:22.828-05:00I agree with you...I lived in Brazil for a year ba...I agree with you...I lived in Brazil for a year back in 1971. My hubby was taking a photo of some people in Bahia and behind them was a military fort out in the water. He was immediately arrested and we spent most of the day in police custody asking that the American embassy be notified of our captivity. We had 3 small sons at our apt with our live in maid. It ended up that they destroyed my husband's film and we were released with our camera. SCARY!Great Grandma Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791149428495689835noreply@blogger.com
