Over a thousand photographers are planning to attend a protest rally organised by Arts Freedom Australia (AFA) on Sunday 29 August to make a stand for photographers rights.
If you are in Sydney area or even if you're just here for a visit come on down to the waterfront for some good clean fun. This is a chance to meet fellow professional photographers and show your support for an important cause. Showing up demonstrates your concern about excessive photography permits and restrictions when photographing on public lands and in public spaces, for example the Sydney Harbour where this rally will take place.
More info can be found on the AFA blog site (here) Don't forget to bring your camera! See you there on Sunday.
It is good to see this. At least NSW national parks now allow amateurs to sell photographs provided the initial purpose is only as a hobby. Took them a while to get that right, so it might take a long time to get rid of the other regulations.
