Have to ask--where was this, Chuck? Name of the paper?

When travelling in countries where photography is more or less forbidden,
due to f. ex. religion, I often say that I work for a newspaper (which I
don't) and then it's OK to take a shot.
Come to think of it, isn't it strange that if I state that I may publish
their face all over, I get to take the photograph, but if I want to take
one for my most private collection (i.e. for almost noone to see) it's a no no.
(Some of you may think I'm a lousy person lying like that, but I can
assure you it's not for taking advantage of people but simply to get nice
pictures to show to myself, my wife and a couple of friends. I *do*
respect culture in the countries I go to.)

I was amazed at the freedom it lent me just publishing a small newsletter
for a short time. there were only about 25 subscribers (those who made a
donation for postage and printing costs got it delivered) and the rest of
the 50 or so copies printed each month were dropped off at local bookstores.
But, I could go places I never would have without it, with my home
fabricated ID badge. And...I didnt have to lie.
