I took more shots than this in The Square, but a security guard made me delete them before I left. Including shots I took of Albert Street Car Park.
Have lost them as I later took more shots somewhere else (didn't think to switch memory cards).
He was ok with these ones as they are not architectural.
He says you need to contact the manager of the site during the week to get permission. Also says it because of terrorists. As if terrorists would attack this place!
I'm not going to go back and retake those lost shots.
I have downloaded something to check the card, but think I overwrote the losts files. This hasn't happened to me before!

I worked briefly as a Security Officer back in 2004.
As I've been on the nightshift recently & heard the Security Firm were recruiting again, I've started "guarding" 2 days a week for some extra cash.
Interesting building. The atrium/entrance is open air, unlike most high rise buildings, which have glassed-in, this is quite interesting. The other interesting bit, I actually approached the guard and ASKED if he minded if I took a few shots, and, because of this, he showed me the building limits and explained, as long as I was behind the bollards, no problem. So to that, to the guard (sorry I didn't get your name), a big thank you. I hope this helps other photographers who are a bit nervous. Don't be. Just ask. No just means move on and take shots elsewhere..
These are old pre-2010 35mm scans edited for clarity. This unmarked second generation 1991-1995 Dodge Grand Caravan is some sort of private security vehicle I guess. Photographed in San Jose.
Although the city is definitely coming alive again, sometimes it still seems like a ghost town in the middle of the day.

My new camera seems to have a liking for people in uniform. I'm hunting them down and shooting them,one by one. I'm on a serial killing mission, haha!!
By the way, she is one of the guards at the entrance of the hospital and manages the pass for the incoming vehicles.I dont think its an easy job, more so because its mostly a man's world, but still she seems to enjoy her work.

A factory guard outside a site near Shenzhen in Southern China.
Everyone here seems to have a fancy uniform, usually in inverse proportion to the power they wield - i.e.:
- Looks like a South American Generalissimo = Guards bicycles
- Looks like Escaped Mental Patient = Multi-Billionaire Property Tycoon

This fellow was trying to get some monetary help outside the Pru mall. Then he went horizontal and mall security decided to investigate. Sleeping? Passed out? OD'ed?
one night last week I got all geared up in my nightsuit & ventured out on a clandestine mission to photograph this "top secret" military munitions depot way out in the desert. I'd been there for about 2 hours secretly shooting series after series of bracketed exposures & uploading them to google earth via satellite feed when I decided to change positions for a better view. I was halfway up a 500' radio tower at the perimeter of the depot when this jackass security guard yelled up at me. Apparently he'd spotted me as I slithered across the desert floor toward the tower. I didn't have much choice but to rappel down, as he was wielding an assault rifle & threatening to use it. When I got to the ground, he read me the riot act & forced me down onto the ground, hands on my head. Just after he'd radioed in for assistance, a ground squirrel rustled in the brush nearby. I was able to grab my camera & fire off this single shot as the guard looked to his left to investigate the noise. Lucky for me that some sort of proprietary military strategic defensive lighting rig fired at the exact time I clicked the shutter. Not only did the serendipitous burst of light allow this once in a lifetime photo to be properly exposed, but it also temporarily blinded the guard & afforded me the chance to scamper away to safety and, no doubt, freedom.
phew.

I had been taking some more pictures of Broadgate West from a safe distance (ie. the other side of the road), and was returning to pick up my bike, when I passed these two Broadgate Estate security guards. I took a photo of them, whereupon the man on the right took great offence and asked me what I thought I was doing. I replied that I was a photographer and was taking a photograph.
He then said that I hadn't asked his permission to do so. After mentioning the long and cherished history of street photography, I apologised, not in a subservient manner, but as one human being to another, for not asking him first. I then reminded him (or maybe educated him in the first place?) that there is actually no expectation of privacy in a public place in the UK.
He responded that if he wasn't in uniform he would 'knock me out' because I had violated his privacy. I remained calm and explained that I was on a public street and reiterated the point about there being no expectation of privacy in such a place. They then tried to claim that the pavement is private property 'as it is next to the Broadgate Estate', and therefore I shouldn't be taking photos there at all.
We had to pass through security to get to our apartment, because we are inside the carnaval street fair barriers. Oh, security guards.

The crowd under the bridge are waiting to pass security screening and enter Library Mall for President Obama's visit. On the bridge, there are police on guard.
President Barack Obama visited the UW–Madison campus on Tuesday, Sept. 28. An estimated crowd of 26,500 filled Library Mall and surrounding areas, hoping to hear and catch a glimpse of the president, and experience firsthand what would soon be part of the UW’s history.

This place has been photographed to death in Shanghai, but I still couldn't help myself. From the observation deck on the 88th floor of the Jin Mao Tower, you can look directly down the middle of the Grand Hyatt Hotel right into their lobby. The hotel operates from the 37th floor upwards if I recall correctly.
A gloomy day in Seattle didn't keep me from exploring a bit more of the Emerald City on a recent errand I had to run up there. I really enjoy exploring cities, and in addition to living in a great one to explore, I have another just a few hours drive up the road.
This was taken in the Olympic Sculpture Park, really an interesting spot that I had never visited before despite it being right on the waterfront and having passed by it countless times.
Taken during the Harbourside Festival while a security man was trying to move on a busker. The busker is a regular in this area of the city, who carries his drum kit on a trolly attached to his bicycle.
On Saturday 23rd january, a small contingent from the Bristol flickr group added ourselves to the protest against section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
This photographer was hassled by one of the security guards at the National Gallery as he was trying to grab a shot of the event. The security guard was roundly booed by those of us below.
