On Sunday afternoon there will be a peaceful protest against the New York MTA’s proposed subway photography ban. It’s at 1:00 p.m. in Grand Central Station. People armed with cameras will fan out and take photos on the subway. (Note that the ban would also apply to photos on buses.)

The Village Voice, for its part, has interviews with several NYC photobloggers about the proposed ban, and is running a Forbidden Photos Contest.

The front page of NYCsubway.org is currently all about the proposed ban.

A subway photo ban is a stupid, stupid idea. What’s next — banning photos of buildings? Maybe we should just require all subway riders to wear blindfolds, so they won’t be able to look at all the secret secret things.

We’re living in insane times.
