Know Your Rights

"If you can see it you can shoot it & chances are you can publish it."

I too have wondered what you can and can't shoot in public, going back to the Festival of Fins in New Orleans. I was shooting a documentary on the fishes for the Real 7, the access TV show starring the cast of MTV's The Real World. Some of the fishes were in front of the federal building and we were shooed away.
