The seder plate (clockwise): Maror (bitter herbs to remember the bitterness of slavery), Z'roa (a lamb shank to commemorate the marking of the Hebrew households' doors and the sacrifices in the old Temple), Charoses (thick date jam said to resemble mortar, to remind us that our forefathers were forced to build for the Egyptians), Chazeres (more bitter herbs), Beitzah (a roasted egg as a symbolic substitute for a sacrifice, because Jews no longer make animal sacrifices)

Today I saw two stories of photographers harassed by police enforcing non-existent laws: 1, 2. Sadly this is part of a larger trend, not to mention an inevitable result of the climate of fear that is remarkably pervasive in the US. I don't want to go into some lengthy political rant, but let's just say that I blame this more on individual ignorant cops than any official policy, and that consequently it's very important that photographers know our rights. I shall be putting a copy of that rights & remedies flyer in my camera case in case I ever need it.

For the record, the only times I have ever stopped myself from taking photos of something out of fear has been when the scene included small children and I was alone, so afraid of being mistaken for a pædophile. I'm probably over-cautious in that respect, but it's a sort of confrontation that I coud do without.

I'm generally quite shy of taking photos of people, but these three ran up determined to pose for me, while I was just trying to get a shot of the landscape.
