Brown Equals Terrorist

Brown Equals Terrorist is a weblog written by a Ballard [Seattle] photography student who was cornered and intimidated by crowds of Seattle and Federal cops for taking pictures of the Ballard Locks. (The blog subtitle is Why do you need to see my ID?)

His artist's statement includes photographs of all the other people who were snapping pictures of this very popular tourist attraction on the same day, and the details of what happened to him taking pictures of trains crossing the train bridge.
