From the Magnum Photos Blog:

“We, the undersigned, believe that the new rules currently under consideration for Film Permits (Chapter 9, Title 43 of the City Rules of New York) will have an irrevocable impact on independent filmmakers and photographers and their ability to engage in creative work in New York.”

This is an important petition for all photographers and filmmakers in New York. If this governs a precedent it might become important for photographers all around the world. Please read the petition and sign it if you agree with what it says.
