Stupid In Silver Spring

In Silver Spring, they’re trying to ban photography. This is amazingly stupid and people are resisting it. Just down the street from my house I feel like going down there and taking some snaps this weekend.

    If you’ve read the Baltimore Sun article, then you know that the Downtown Silver Spring developers have altered their policy to allow limited photographer access to Ellsworth Drive. That’s great, but not what we’re asking for.

    Free Our Streets is asking for PFA Silver Spring LC to welcome photography, videography, and other filming on Ellsworth Drive, consistent with First Amendment rights as they would apply on any other public street.

    The Downtown Silver Spring development includes $187 million in county and state funds and the once completely public property Ellsworth Drive, public investment that should come with public rights.

    And so the Downtown Silver Spring Photo Walk is still on. A declaration of photographic freedom on July 4th.
