I know that when the wife and I do get to Paris I'll take pictures but these rules ( and the ones in Quebec) make it less than pleasant to do street photography. That being said the only time I was confronted about taking street photos was in my own neighborhood - literally 200 yds from my house - I was taking a picture of a neighbors shubbery as he had done an Edward Scissor Hands thing with them. He literally ran out of his house demanding to know what I was doing - I was on the street not on his property. What a loon! Although I wonder if he was in the witness protection program? ernie At 08:42 AM 2/19/03 -0800, you wrote: >At 08:16 AM 2/19/2003 -0500, you wrote: >>Neil - did you notice Marc Riboud's pic of a protester holding a poster >>of his ~1968 V.
