I'd put my money on constant brainwashing from the feminazis. The snappers among us (not to be confused with the iPhone/point and shoot nuisance pervs) predicted that things would go this way and they have done just that. It's such a shame as Brighton WNBR was once a glorious event of good natured protest and the kind of unrestrained fun the town is well known for.

I reckon there were many fewer photographers back in 2014.
It's not brainwashing - many people don't like having cameras constantly pointed at them, regardless if the camera is a DSLR or a phone. I think many people also started to get annoyed with the constant "can I take your photo?" - but prefer that to not being asking.
Fdooby - but I think we'll both agree, it isn't the event it once was.
