It’s Down At The End of Lonely Street

Something’s Fishy with Critical Mass

An article in Bicycling magazine about Critical Mass makes note of an “individual” some of you might know (I’m guessing that from a distance, he couldn’t see the driver to determine gender):

Critical Mess—Bicycling Magazine

“The pilots themselves don’t mind dressing up or dressing down. There are the usual San Francisco types--bike messengers in three-quarter-length jeans, vine-streaming Earth Mothers in organic flower and dark-haired men screaming “viva la revolucion” while wielding Che Guevara flags--but there are also men in casual, sophisticated style (a Sinatra-era fedora, for example, in place of a bike helmet) and others who appear to have taken a wrong turn at Mardi Gras. I refer to the man in the one-piece grape-bunch suit and the individual whose exotic, multiwheel fish float features shiny silver scales made of old CDs.”

Mama Don’t Take My Kodachrome

Your Rights As A Photographer: Your right to take photographs in the United States is being challenged more than ever--people are being stopped, harassed, and even intimidated into handing over their personal property simply because they were taking photographs of subjects that made other people uncomfortable. Recent examples have included photographing industrial plants, bridges, buildings, trains, and bus stations. Print and carry this pamphlet in your wallet, pocket, or camera bag to give you quick access to your rights and obligations concerning confrontations over photography. Here are some other resources: The Photographer’s Guide To Privacy, Photography on Transit Systems, the UK Photographer’s Rights Guide, NSW (Australia) Street Photography legal issues, and the Legal Handbook for Photographers.

A Tough Two Minutes

Some performers like to add quite a bit of their own style, while others keep it strictly operatic. Some prefer to keep it simple, while others pull out all the stops. Some performers don’t even sing it, and some really belt it out. And now, please rise!

I Might Get Rich; You Know I Might Get Busted

Unmasking D.B. Cooper: On a rainy night in 1971, the notorious skyjacker jumped out of a 727 and into American legend. But a chance lead to a Manhattan P.I. may have finally cracked the case, although this isn’t the first time someone has claimed to be D.B. Cooper.
