Even if, like me, you already know everything, you may well find it
worthwhile to spend a day listening to an >accomplished craftsman talk
about his way of doing things.
About the only thing better is to work along side a pro in the field to see
how he accomplishes his craft and to try to gain an insight into his ability
to see subjects and compositions.
Was this presentation put on by a group or an individual?

Subject: Photo Workshop (Was Re: Posting photos of street art can get
youarrested)
Speaking of education, (trying to segue back closer to on-topic), I and
200± others spent the day sitting in >very uncomfortable chairs in a poorly
ventilated room, drinking conference-hotel coffee while listening to a
>series of presentations on how to do nature photography. I really hate
conference hotel chairs, coffee, sound >systems, ventilation, etc.,(as well
as my hatred for drivers who don't understand roundabouts, a feeling I know
>I share with Dave and Cotty) but despite that it was time well spent and I
came away with some food for >thought. Also frustration. I would really
like to play with a tilt-shift lens, I would like to have auto-coupled

quality consistent with my lenses. Given >that I am not going to switch to
a different system, I can't do much about any of those items. But I can

focusing, use of LV as a focusing aid, more >attention to histograms in
setting exposure, etc.

You're absolutely right, John. For Freedom of Speech to have any meaning,
offensive speech must be protected, too. Abhorrent opinions must be
protected. Because I don't want some beaurocrat, politician or judge
drawing the line.
The photo may have made us feel uneasy and no one here advocates murder,
but that young lady, no matter her personal history, was not advocating
it, simply portraying the message of another.
What, someone is suddenly going to go shoot a cop and say, "Well, I wasn't
going to, but I saw this photo..."
Let's be real. She was arrested because cops don't like her.
The arrest was wrong and she will almost certainly beat the charges. At
least, she should...
Cheers,

You've already gone over the precipice on your "slippery slope",
justifying suppression of her right to free speech because she's "part
of some cop hating group or something".
