Did you know photography could be a sign of.....a photographer working?
Did you know photography in public spaces is a constitutional right?
Did you know this encourages people to call authorities on us for no reason, especially photographers of color?
Know the signs! Did you know photography and surveillance could be a sign of terrorism-related suspicious activity? If you notice this, be sure to report it to local authorities.
