We (at least the younger among us) may very well see the day
when street photographers will require a permit and show just cause.

One's only hope in these times is to hone one's people skills
and develop trusting relationships in those places we wish apply or  
craft.

'tis a very sad time.

I know one very fine photographer who's given up the craft due to  
lack of access
various harassments by official and pseudo-official individuals, as  
well as many state and national parks now requiring permits (if  
you're a professional).

Fond regards,
George
