Sometimes you just need to take a photo where you’re not supposed. You pretend not to see the "no photography" sign, look around for guards, slip your cell phone or small camera out of your pocket, make sure the flash is off, and quickly snap the shot. (If only I had that photo I took of Paddington Bear at Paddington station as no photography is allowed in the London Undereground and all the film from the trip was lost.) Well, now there’s a site dedicated to such photos. Strictly No Photography is a site that lets you upload, browse and search for just those types of photos. I’ve uploaded a few to my account and will probably be adding more in the future.
