My First Amendment Rights
The First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The First Amendment insures our rights as photographers. Photography has the ability to tell stories. In photojournalism, these photos are important to the story being told by providing a visual aspect to the story.
If our rights were not protected by the First Amendment, we as photographers could easily be censored, our photos destroyed because someone may be offended by them and lawsuits against the publication could ensue. The FA guarantees our rights and allows us to continue telling stories.
