Are you kidding? Are those rates for movie or television productions or do they apply to someone (tourist) walking around with a hand camera or worse mobile phone? Coz if its the latter that's total bull. ----- Original Message ----- | From: "TheBigBoss" <thebigboss@peperuka.com> | To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> | Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 11:36:14 AM | Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Taking Photos in Nairobi | This is crazy, 4k + 10k per street !!! | To subscribe via email, just send an email to | photokenya+subscribe@googlegroups.com | On 14 February 2012 10:37, Daudi Were < daudi.were@gmail.com > wrote: | | On 13 February 2012 18:49, stephen wanjau < wanjaustev@gmail.com > | | wrote: | | | | Hello, | | | | | | We are planning as Wikipedians in Kenya to take photos of | | | monuments | | | and buildings around Nairobi then later upload them to Wikimedia | | | Commons under the Creative Commons license.

Your biggest headache may be the watchmen/women of various | | buildings who can get very protective of their buildings and do not | | want anyone taking pictures of it! | | | • Although you do not need a police license some people advise | | notifying them. It always helps when you can say you have talked | | with the OCS Central or something like that! | | | _______________________________________________ | | | Skunkworks mailing list | | | Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke | | | ------------ | | | List info, subscribe/unsubscribe | | | http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks | | | ------------ | | | Skunkworks Rules | | | http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 | | | ------------ | | | Other services @ http://my.co..ke | | -- | TheBigBoss TheBigBoss | Nairobi, Kenya | Email: TheBigBoss@peperuka.com | Peperuka | _______________________________________________ | Skunkworks mailing list | Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke | ------------ | List info, subscribe/unsubscribe | http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks | ------------ | Skunkworks Rules | http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 | ------------ | Other services @ http://my.co.ke
