Thomas Hawk's 12 rules for photowalking

http://thomashawk.com/2007/09/principles-and-guidelines-for-modern.html

Do you agree with Mr. Hawk (that's not his real name BTW) where Graffiti and following the rules are concerned?  He advocates (among other things) that artists should push boundaries and paint over other people's propery and not heed 'no photography' zones.

I went to the King Tut exhibit in Philly this weekend and was TOTALLY bummed that I couldnt take photos.  They had some BS excuse about it being necessary to preserve the artifacts but it was ALL REALLY ABOUT forcing you into their gift shop at the end and not having any of your own shots to rely on so you had to buy their overpriced versions instead.  It totally sucked.  And that's not even the worst part about the exhibit....
