| | | Thought I'd give a brief review of the tour - I went on Saturday. I was very happy with it, on Friday I emailed and asked about tripod and flash use - they allow both tripods and on-camera flash, no sticks or umbrellas or off-camera flash is allowed. They pair you with you a tour guide and all the tour guides to separate ways, so you aren't all bunched together and getting in eachothers shots. I was with one other guy in my group so we took turns getting our shots...it was great to have just a small group and all the time and space we needed. Most of the building is still pretty awesome, I believe "building 9" was the best one - every floor untouched since the early 70's. The guide just talks while you shoot, asks what you want to see and what you want to know - knowing that we were both into the decay she took us to the best spots, then she just stayed out of our way while we shot. The only rule she gave us was to not go into the rooms as the floors were collapsing but she allowed us to use our best judgement. If we were taking a long time on one floor she would tell us that the next floor is even better, or she would say "I can let you guys keep shooting here, or we can go see the basement and the tunnels, up to you" In all, 2 hours was plenty of time to see what's worth seeing and to learn a bit of history. Yes - there was the waiver and photo rights issue, but who cares about that - it was a great time and nice low stress opportunity to shoot some cool stuff! I would post some pics but I don't have them on me. Definitely glad I did it and I highly recommend it! k?

| | | Posted by rob.i.am While your point about the photo rights is fair and valid, it's been made about 4 times in this thread. Some people don't care about the rights (I'd be one of them). You're entitled to your opinion, including that my opinion is wrong and immoral and bad for the planet, but jeez, enough already. |
I'd have left it alone if not for the, "...but who cares about that," comment. If one isn't concerned about losing the IP rights to their photos, then by all means, go on the tour and take photos, but don't suggest that no one cares despite multiple statements, not just from me, to the contrary.

| Read it again. "Some people don't..." Meaning, yes, if you care about it, listen to Shawn. If you don't, then, uh, don't. We're saying the same thing. You're just saying it more often and I'm not saying it again. ;) Edit: I realize you're referring to Freak saying that, not me. My bad. Carry on.
