Default Almost Arrested In NYC

Hi John,

Nice website.

I've been stopped before by security guards who said they were gonna
report me to the FBI for suspected terrorism. The FBI hasn't shown up at
my door yet and that was a few years ago.

Consider printing one of these and stuffing it in your camera bag:

I guess it makes sense with all the added post 9/11 security measures,
but I have been questioned numerous times taking photos of manhole
covers in the city. I've traveled the world taking pictures - not
always of manhole covers of course - and never been hassled, but it's
happened on more than one occasion here. I suppose photagraphing
anything that's affiliated with the 'workings' of the city could be
presumed as suspicious activity. This hasn't dampened my enthusiasm,
I just thought it was interesting to share.
