In 1986, several women in Rochester, NY were arrested and convicted for picnicking topless in public. They sued to challenge the law prohibiting women, but not men, from being topless in public - and in 1992, New York State's highest court struck down that law as violating the state constitution's equal protection clause (see the court's full opinion).
So for the past twenty years, it has been completely legal all over New York State for a woman to be topless in any public place where men can be topless. Although few people are aware of this, I have been photographing women topless in public all over the state for the past few years in an effort to raise awareness, celebrate New York's recognition of top-free equality in a tasteful and hopefully artistic manner, and promote similar thinking for the vast majority of states where it is still illegal for a woman to be topless in public.
I am a public interest attorney admitted to practice in New York State; photography and activism are merely my avocations.
