IMPORTANT
Do you want someone asking you if you are a commercial photographer when you are out hiking and taking photos on Forrest Service Land? And charge you up to $1500 if you don't comply and get a permit first?
"The draft would require commercial photographers, potentially broadcast and print media as well, to pay for a permit before taking pictures or video on wilderness land. Permits would cost up to $1,500, and fines for not getting a permit up to a $1,000. U.S. Forest Service supervisors would decide which reporters would be allowed access." ~ Matt Renoux, 9news.com
