Kanye West arrested , incident with a photographer! 11.09.

LOS ANGELES, Calif.Kanye West and his bodyguard, Don Crowley, were arrested at LAX this morning, the LAX Police Department has confirmed to Access Hollywood, which was the first news outlet to break the news online today.

The incident took place at 7:51 AM this morning at the entrance to the security checkpoint for American Airlines at Terminal 4 on charges of battery and vandalism. The two were en route to Honolulu at the time.

According to an eyewitness on the scene who spoke with Access, the incident began when Kanye approached a camera that was being aimed at him by a photographer.

According to the gossip Web site TMZ.com, the paparazzo was attempting to photograph the rap star, when Kanye allegedly confronted the photographer, grabbing his camera (reportedly valued at over $10,000) and smashing it to the ground.

Airport security intervened and took Kanye and the photographer aside, and spoke to both of them, later releasing them both.

Kanye then approached the photographer getting “in his face,” Access’ witness said.
A group of flight attendants also saw Kanye confront the photographer, according to the witness.

A TMZ videographer named Erik, who was also present, was attempting to videotape Kanye and the photographer, when Don (the bodyguard) allegedly grabbed TMZ’s video camera. A struggle reportedly ensued between Don and Erik, which caused Erik’s camera to smash to the ground (yes, this was the 2nd camera smashed to the ground)!

According to TMZ, Kanye then tried to board his plane, but overheard police talking with Erik about whether or not he had filmed the incident.

Kanye reportedly then approached Erik demanding the tape, yelling, “Gimme that f****** videotape!”

As the incident escalated, approximately eight LAX police officers apprehended Kanye, putting him in handcuffs, and took him and Don into custody, according to Access’ witness.

According to Access’ witness, LAX police did not detain either photographer. The witness also noted that due to the anniversary of 9-11, police presence at the airport appeared to be higher than normal.

Kanye and Don were taken to the LAPD Pacific Division where they were booked and charged with felony vandalism.

According to LAX Police, “Airport Police had initially received the call as also involving a potential battery. However, following initial investigation, it was determined that no battery occurred.”

LAX Police told an Access producer on site that Kanye and his entourage will be returning to get on another American Airlines flight, after they’re booked.

Macarthur causeway Photography 09.08.

“Everyone Loves Macarthur” its probably the hottest spot in Miami to have a photo shoot under that famous bridge. “The causeway is illuminated at night by a stunning design by Robert Daniels of Brilliant Lighting Design of Miami.” It’s always a remarkable view even for us locals.

I noticed a while back Actually, on July 18th of 2008. That there were school buses and other big trucks under the bridge. It seems that this is now a parking garage, the biggest hint was the sign that said so. I am kind of upset about it.

Photos by yours truly, Michael Palacios

Photography is not a crime 30.07.

One of the blogs I read is by Carlos Miller who covers events of photographers getting bullied around the states. Its sad what it has come to but, staying up to date in these events might one day help you. So check it out!

“My name is Carlos Miller and I am a multimedia journalist who was arrested by Miami police after taking photos of them against their wishes, a clear violation of my First Amendment rights. Since that arrest on Feb. 20th, 2007, I’ve been fighting a lengthy battle against the State of Florida to prove my innocence. Recently, a jury acquitted me of disobeying a police officer and disorderly conduct, but convicted me of resisting arrest without violence. I am now appealing the conviction. During the sentencing, an extremely biased judge gave me four times the amount of probation the State was seeking because he was angry that I had blogged about my case. Judge Jose L. Fernandez said he was “shocked” by my lack of remorse in this case. But why should I show remorse for crimes I did not commit? Click here to read more.”

Kit lens sucks 26.07.

Kit lens from my 400D is an okay lens… of course, once you have months with it. You will want better and faster. This has come to my attention last Sunday when I wanted to zoom in closer but was limited, Or when i wanted to capture more detail but when printed it wasn’t as I tought it would.

So I am no on the hunt for a new Lens with great IQ and fast!
