Permit May Be Required For Public Photography in NYC
July 30 2007
Reader Gerry O'Brien sends this in: "New York City is planning to mandate photography permits and a minimum $1 million liability insurance for photographers who shoot with one other person on any city sidewalk or street location for 30 minutes or more, or ten minutes for those with a tripod and five people.
"Public comments are being accepted on the City's Film, Theatre and Broadcasting website until August 3rd. I would encourage people to mention the negative effect this will have on NY's economy, as well as the embarrassment it will bring to the agency in question (and it's leadership) when the courts declare it unconstitutional."
To read more about this (with lots of reader comments) visit Slashdot for their story Permit May Be Required For Public Photography in NYC. Also see coverage from the New York Civil Liberties Union, and a take action page.

Did You Know You Could Create An Entire Website In Photoshop?
SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin - Create Websites Instantly
There often seems to be a strict division of labor within the world of web design and development. Creative professionals tend to stick to the Photoshop domain, while those well-versed in scripting are left to the task of implementing their work. Indeed, the two realms are quite different from each other, to which any of us even vaguely familiar with either can easily attest.
Essentially, Photoshop is a no-holds-barred design studio, offering the artist a seemingly endless array of creative options. On the other hand, HTML, CSS, Java and the like follow strict rules of engagement, requiring the developer to take any number of esoteric concerns into consideration in order to ensure that designs are properly displayed on the web.
Turn Photoshop Into A Complete Web Design Tool
SiteGrinder seeks to bridge this gap between design and development. Basically, SiteGrinder turns Photoshop into an easy-to-use and fully functional web design tool. With SiteGrinder, designers will now have the freedom to totally let their creativity loose and then, without skipping a beat, transfer their designs to the web. Bringing esthetic concerns together with more practical considerations, SiteGrinder is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks. Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download.
