Photographer Thomas Hawk has a story to tell

Not for the first time, Hawk has been roughed up by security guards and/or pseudo-cops while photographing San Francisco from the sidewalk.

Read Thomas Hawk's Digital Connection: Photographing Architecture is Still Not a Crime, Police Harrasment at 45 Fremont Street and ask yourself

• what you would've done if this had happened to you
• what you would've done if this happened to family or friend
• what can you and I do to insure that this just does not happen again.

Hawk takes nice photos too. Go check them out while you're there.
