I wonder idly whether it is the use of the word “shoot” to mean both fire a weapon and take a picture with a camera that has police forces, security guards and petty bureaucrats all over the world in such a panic about cameras.
Anyway, if you happen to be in London tomorrow, there is a demonstration you might like to join. It is organized by photographers to protest against the increasing use of anti-terrorism legislation to hassle photographers (generally innocent tourists, artists and journalists) in the city. The Guardian has further details, or you can check out the Facebook page.
Go if you can. Take your camera.
Variety or Hollywood Reporter or maybe both regularly refer to people “lensing” movies (ie directors of photography; directors per se “helm” the movie). Possibly there’s mileage in that – a fashion lens instead of a fashion shoot, I’m going out to lens some ducks in the park. But probably not.
