Van Hoosen

Van Hoosen started charging professional photographers to take photos on their property. My 17 year old was there taking photos for part of his Stoney Creek photo class and someone kicked off the grounds saying he can't take photos without paying a fee. Really? What good are my very expensive taxes paying for if my kid (whose not making photos for a profit) can't take photos on this public park. What are they going to do when thousands of us show up with our camera for the Stone wall festival? I think there needs to be a bit of sense when it comes to just assuming anyone with a camera is a person making a profit with their photos. Your making this long time Rochester resident mad!
