Climate Camp from a photographer perspective.

Luca | 18.08.2007 11:31 | Climate Camp 2007 | London

You have a camera! You cannot go there, you cannot photograph here, you need to be accompanied...ecc...

hi, I'm a professional photographer and
I went to the climate camp a couple of times. It was nice to see the good intentions,
the recycling, the sustainability, overall there was a good vibe and energy,
but unfortunately the camp made me feel i was a terrorist or something like that,
just because i had a camera on my neck.
This is just crap,
the demonstrators praise and embrace freedom but they are clearly not free,
as the only people truly free are the ones that have no problems to be photographed,
(Europeans are clearly not free at all).
I understand very well that there are bad photographers that are just like paparazzi, but as there are bad muslims not all the muslims are terrorists.

In the end of the day the demonstrators are just like the people they are fighting against to,
using the same attachement to secrecy and all the crap that it's clearly against freedom of speech.

Unfortunately, there is still a long way to go.
