More photo wackiness: closer to home

Had dinner with friends last weekend a couple weeks ago, and lo and behold: they've been visited by Homeland Security because of taking pictures. I relayed the story of the Ballard Locks, and re-iterated that it is NOT illegal to take photographs.

So friends, the next time you are our shooting, you might want to carry this flyer.

The story made me revisit the guy in Ballard who got shook (shaken?) down over the summer. He continues to keep us posted on all matters. Including these:

A polite exchange with DHS.

A heavy handed encounter with what sounds like the Uniformed Secret Service.

The whole thing makes me want to go outside and take some pictures.
