Photographing another Chapter.

The right to photograph freely what one can normally see in a public place is a very important one. So much of what I publish both online and on paper are photographs of this area old and modern. Photographs like the one above say something about us here in Thanet no amount of words can convey, the modern picture of some of Thanet’s civic leaders above, like the picture below of some of our civic leaders 70 years ago brings history to life.

Thanks to Fred’s comments on my posting about being prevented from photographing Ramsgate Public Library from a public footpath, I have voted on a parliamentary petition about this, if you enjoy the photographs that I and others publish I would like to encourage you to do so as well click here to do so

Fred also drew my attention to Mitchell Austin’s early day motion on the subject click here to view it

The Pictures of Ramsgate Library That KCC Don’t Want You to See

I just couldn’t believe this, I went round the town today taking pictures as I often do, when I started taking pictures of the progress rebuilding the library out came the site foreman and told me to stop taking pictures. Why I asked incredulously, he said that their client Kent Count Council didn’t want people taking pictures of the building work. Click here to see the pictures I took before I was stopped, any ideas anyone, can you see something I can’t?

Click here to see rest of the pictures I have taken this week sorry about the ones that aren’t much good I’ll go through and delete them some time, frankly it’s a bit of a chore, much easier to bung the whole lot up in one go.
