German Photographers to Boycott Dylan Tour
By Wolfgang Spahr
HAMBURG (Billboard) - Photojournalists in Germany have announced plans to boycott Bob Dylan 's upcoming tour of the country, after he stated that he would not allow his photograph to be taken during performances. The photographers are considering the same action against other international stars.
At its latest gathering on Friday in Berlin, the German Assn. of Journalists called on its more than 41,000 members to boycott Dylan's Oct 17-Nov. 8 tour, as well as those by major acts such as Peter Gabriel ), Paul McCartney, Bon Jovi, Guns N' Roses and the Kelly Family.
The association's managing director, Thomas Schelberg, says photographers are increasingly facing restrictions imposed by artists and their management over the types of photos they can take during concerts and how the images can be used.
"The freedom of photographic journalists to pursue their profession is more important than Bob Dylan's personal preferences," says a spokesperson for the group.
A spokesman for Cologne-based concert promoter Peter Rieger, which is handling Dylan's tour, says it is no secret that the artist does not allow his concerts to be filmed or photographed. "If the artist doesn't want any photos taken, our hands are tied, and we have to accept this," he says.

WTF?
Almost all major shows I have seen have not "allowed" cameras in.
So when Dylan says no photographs, the photographers decide (in a devastating show of solidarity) not to photograph??

Dylan won't allow professional photographers in front of the stage to take his pic. It's not about the 'no camera' policy for the crowd... Read better Nanky  |

Still funny though; Dylan says "I don't let you guys to shoot me", these smart guys bravely answer him "okay, then we don't take any pictures of you, bastard!". Yep, I also can see Dylan making some nasty lyrics out of this.
