No Liberties

Human Rights organisation Liberty doesn’t just work for the Human Rights of people in third world oppressed regimes, it increasingly has to worry about closer to home:
“Irreverent but revelatory, outrageous but true, ‘Taking Liberties’ combines real stories of liberty loss with never-seen-before footage, cheeky stunts and comment from leading politicians, celebrities, human rights organisations (including […]

Not Training is Good For You

Inspired by recent stabbing chest pains I made an appointment to see doctors.
Cue the usual tests in the docs office - blood pressure, sharp intake of breath as cold stethoscope applied to moobs, pokes in the ribs etc.

In the UK as we give away our civil liberties in the name of freedom it might be handy to be aware of Photographers Rights.
