Given all the stories, why has nobody made a photo project out of the difficulties in shooting in public places? "The pictures that were not supposed to be made" as it were. Or is there something like that already?
Rather than lengthy messages in Internet forums, why doesn't someone make a project out of it, like a book with blank pages with captions showing the time in minutes and seconds from your arrival at the scene until you are being told to leave or whatever... (a little naff, just the first thing that comes to my mind).
To me, as annoying as it is, the trend of not letting people take pictures freely is also an affirmation of the power of photography. Why not turn it around and make creative use of it, via the medium itself?
