"Should I call security?"
About 9 mos. ago I took my 35SP into a local mall. I wanted to try out the
spot metering and to shoot an architecturally interesting ceiling. I took 4
or 5 shots, none of the people shopping, when a rent-a-cop acosted me and
wanted to know what I was doing. I reponded that I was taking photos, why?
"What for?" "My own enjoyment." "You can't do that in here, it's against
mall rules." " I might have to confiscate your camera and film." I told him
I was going to call the real police if he didn't get away from me and that he
would be commiting theft if he took my camera and assault if he so much as
touched me! Rather than get into a p...ing contest I left the mall (with my
camera and film) but I would be reluctant to go back after that experience.
Sad times we live in. Tom, you must present a more benign appearence than I
do.
