Picture New York Fights City Hall

We’re not usually ones to pass along one of those online petition things, but we were sent this one late yesterday and it seems like it could serve some potential good. Petition-maker Matt Kohn and his group Picture New York are out to change a recent change in NYC law that tightens the line between amateur and professional filmmaker and photographer, making either much more liable should they be working without a permit. So, heck, even if you don’t sign the thing, it’s an interesting, if not a bit intimidating piece of law.
