The Two Hundred Photographs Sent To The NYCTA

Jan 25, 2005, 9:40:05 AM by °dygel
Journals / deviantART, Inc. / deviantART Blog

Below are the 200 photographs from the Global Subway Photography Contest that were printed and physically mailed to the New York City Transit Authority. This project was done to serve the transit authority with a poignant reminder of how important subway photography is to so many photographers, and that their proposed ban on photography would serve only to frustrate those photographers.

You will certainly notice that most of these are architectural. That is a result of two factors. First, I wanted to present a strength of architectural photographs so that our message would not be misinterpreted as photographers insisting on the right to invade people's privacy. I tried to restrict the picks to those photos where any people in the frame were unidentifiable. Secondly, as a matter of personal tastes, I tend to have a much better eye for structural aesthetics than I do for the human element in photography. My apologies if these factors have steered these choices in a direction you might not have chosen yourself.

So, if your work is contained herein, you can be proud that your art has contributed to a powerful group statement of protest over the proposed ban on photography in New York City subways. I have not yet received any response from the NYCTA, but I will likely publish any response I may yet receive.

So, keep your heads high, photographers. Our voices may have been ignored, but none may criticize us for silence!

Some GOOD stuff up there...

~Carlosfandango Feb 12, 2005

You should count yourselves lucky. In the UK photography is prohibited in the underground (subway) and has been for years. People do take photo's but it is a risk as you can be prosocuted. STUPIDO I really don't understand there mentality when it comes to this. Someone enlighten me.

~ladyface Feb 13, 2005

lol

why dont you know?
- its the same reason they built the millenium dome, went to war and the same reason that murderers,rapists and phedophiles get a lesser sentence than a person who has evaded the tax man for a year

im not ranting , just reminding you how twisted our country is xx

~ryantcooney Feb 11, 2005
