Carousel panorama
© All rights reserved.
I was having my car serviced and decided to visit the mall next door. There is a carousel at the TRACY mall that is functional but not in use when I arrived. So I pulled out my camera and commenced to take a couple of shots.
Immediately after taking the 2 images that make up this panorama, a security guard came up to me and advised me that the mall policy was no photographs because of the Homeland Security Act. (do wut?!!!!) So I packed up and left, ate breakfast, thought about it and went back to the mall where I found the security office and told them of the exchange. They were quite surprised of course. .... [ What do friends do if they take pics of each other at the mall? Go to jail? ] .... I told them of my photographic interests, what I do for a living; i.e., FBI has my fingerprints, I've had a security background check, etc etc etc.
The mall office gave me the green light to shoot away but not at the "store fronts". But within 5 minutes of exiting their office my car was ready and I no longer had any further interest to take pictures of the carousel creatures. Maybe I'll go back and tell the guard to kiss my #*&!$@.
