A Reason to Smile, a life-scale bronze and aluminum sculptural tableau, was cast by Seward Johnson in 2004. Johnson chose to transform the experience, in total, of viewing Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. By creating a backdrop, a front wall, two French guards and a frame, he plays with the elements of the third dimension, allowing visitors to enter the picture frame and pose, side by side with the subject of the painting.
Seward Johnson: The Retrospective was scheduled to be on exhibition at the Grounds For Sculpture from May 4 to September 21, 2014 but due to overwhelming popularity, was extended through July 2015. The exhibit presents an overview of the New Jersey sculptor's 50-year career through a lifetime collection of over 150 of his works. In its first month on exhibit, the park attracted 30,000 visitors—nearly 20 percent of its normal annual attendance.
Grounds For Sculpture is a 42-acre sculpture park and museum located on the former site of the New Jersey State Fairgrounds in Hamilton Township. The grounds, which feature over 270 large scale contemporary sculptures, were founded in 1992 by John Seward Johnson II.

I noticed that the village had a new lady security guard posted at the gate. I wasted no time in grabbing the opportunity to take her picture. I approached her and asked if I could take her picture for my “project”. She agreed.
Cristina has been a security guard for 5 years. She got her new post as a replacement for another lady security guard. She has no problems with the present assignment since her house is just a ride away from the village. She said that the toughest part of the job was making visitors/outsiders understand security protocols. On the other hand, what she likes about the job is the opportunity to meet many people, be they visitors or residents of the village. She said that working 12 hour shifts and 7 days a week is hard but she has learned to love the job to help her cope with the demanding schedule. She also looks forward to payday and the bonus.
Thank you Cristina for keeping the village safe and for allowing me to take your picture.

The security guard was a really nice guy. We had all pulled up into a space in the parking lot behind Chicago Lake Liquors, and he came out to ask up to move to the bike racks out front. We started to say that we were just going to be a minute or two, as we were waiting for a friend who was inside and he cut us off to say something to the effect of, "Look, I just don't want to get yelled at by the manager, so if you could move to the front, it would be doing me a favor."
We said no problem, and it was all smiles from there. He ended up asking up to pose for a picture.
This is #18 in my 100 strangers assignment. Check out the 100 strangers website to see more pictures and people working on the same assignment!
When we first drove up to the Harrah's Casino and Hotel in Cherokee, NC; we drove into the Valet Parking lane even through it stated $8 as the cost. (In Vegas it costs whatever you want to give--maybe $5 or less.) We walked into the casino and learned from a friendly security guard how to walk through to get to the hotel to the restaurant that had been recommended to us by the Comfort Inn front desk clerk. (Harrah's had no vacancies when I made our reservations a couple of weeks earlier.) After eating and looking around the hotel, we walked back through the casino to get our car. Every time we walked up to a door of the casino, there were 1 or 2 security guards. They were usually dancing around and called out, "Welcome to Harrah's. Hope you have good luck." We always smiled and greeted them back even though we don't gamble.
I wanted to take a picture of the casino, but I know that's usually not allowed; so, as I was walking out the last door, I saw Carl dancing around. I thought, "I'll get one of my "100 Strangers" portraits with the casino in the background." So, I approached Carl and asked if he'd be willing to pose for my "100 Strangers" assignment. Well, he took over. He said that he would get his boss, Helen, in the shot. Then he grabbed two others, Randy and Hanna. They were all very friendly and willing to pose for the photograph.
Then Carl insisted that I get in the picture, and he would take a photo of me with the others. My small camera has very tiny buttons, but we did manage to get that shot too--even though my mouth was open continuing to give instructions.(see below)
I appreciated their generosity in allowing me to take their photo with the casino in the background. Carl was the "life of the party" and the instigator of all the smiles.
Notes on the Trip: We checked out of Smoky Mountains Resort on Saturday morning and drove over the Smoky Mountains to Cherokee, NC. We checked into Comfort Inn on highway 19. We went to the Museum of the Cherokee Indians and ate lunch and dinner at Harrah's Hotel and Casino. On Sunday, we drove 8 hours back to south Georgia.
I discovered this location while driving to the franco-cypriot school in Nicosia, Cyprus. These are governmental buildings next to the police academy. The complex is to be destroyed in the near future. I was interested in catching the effects of time on official government owned buildings.
Security drill, these metal detectors are being used to prevent suicide attack on the second floor of the building...
Students are being checked at the entrance...
Because if we allow Chicagoans to photograph buildings, especially architecturally significant buildings, the terrorists win.
After a good meal at Laham's Kebab we came outside for tea! There were a few other shops nearby and he was sitting in front of one of them. When I asked for a photograph he just gave a slight nod but I figured he was lost in some deep thought or prayers and did not want to disturb that.

My new apartment has a team of security guards who, still, as I remember from before, have a pretty mellow workload. Here's the one guarding my group of buildings this afternoon - utterly and peacefully asleep. I'm soon going to be asleep too. I spent part of the day getting the place ready for an intense day of cleaning tomorrow. I've hired some help.
I discovered this location while driving to the franco-cypriot school in Nicosia, Cyprus. These are governmental buildings next to the police academy. The complex is to be destroyed in the near future. I was interested in catching the effects of time on official government owned buildings.
I was framing this photo when a security guard approached me, huge gold badge polished and sparkling. I was busy, so I nodded to acknowledge him and went back to working on the shot.
"You a professional photographer?" he asked.
I turned and smiled. "No, I wish. Boy, that would be great," I told him. I started calculating settings. He stayed where he was and stared at me.
"You a professional photographer?" he repeated.
I turned and looked at him again. This time I figured I'd better keep my answer simple. "No. I'm not."
I waited. He stared. I was just about to start working on the shot again when he said "Because if you were a professional photographer, you'd need a permit."
"Good thing I'm not," I answered.
He stared.
"Look," I told him as I turned the red lettering on my camera strap toward him. "It's a Pentax. It's not a professional camera. When the pros and the really good amateurs see this, they know it's open season to make fun of me. I'm not a professional photographer, and this isn't a professional camera."
"Well, it looks like a professional camera. I always ask when I see a professional camera."
I waited. He stared.
"And you're using a tripod."
"It's nighttime," I helpfully informed him, in case he didn't realize that ten at night is nighttime. "You can't shoot at night without a tripod."
"Professionals use tripods," he warned me. "I always ask when I see a tripod."
Professional photographers probably wear underwear, too, but the fact that I was also wearing underwear still doesn't make me a professional photographer. Alas.
I counted backwards from 10. He stared. I made it to three.
"We CAN'T allow professional photographers to take pictures here," he asserted. "The merchants here, they have um, unique and, um, one-of-a-kind displays of um, unique merchandise. We have to protect them. We can't let pictures of the displays get onto the Internet."
"Look," I almost said before I caught myself. "If that's your concern, then it's not the professionals you should be worried about. It's people like me, the amateurs.
"Professionals don't post all their work free for the taking on the Internet," I almost continued. "They have to sell their work; they can't give it away. I don't create anything worth buying, so I do post my stuff online, because I have nothing to lose anyway.
"And FURTHERMORE," I nearly ranted, "we are in Florida, and tourism accounts for one-fifth of Florida's tax base. Tourists find pretty places, like here, and take pictures, like this, and go home and share those pictures with friends and family all over the world by POSTING THEM ON THE INTERNET. We WANT tourists to enjoy their vacations, to tell their friends about us, to come back every year, and to TAKE PICTURES."
"Are you so bored" I considered shouting, "that you feel you have to harass innocent individuals who are standing on a public sidewalk taking legal photographs of a clock and a tree in order to justify your continued employment?"
"Look here," I didn't harangue as I didn't reach into my bag to get my copy of The Photographer's Right. I didn't continue, "I am in a public place, on a public sidewalk, taking a picture of a clock and a tree. I have every right to take this picture. Go away or I shall taunt you a second time."
I said none of these things, of course. I'm not nearly as stupid as I look. But I shot all of it out my eyeballs as I glared back at him and waited.
He stared for a while, and finally deflated. "I just had to be sure. As long as you're not a professional." And he turned and walked away.
We got back from another succesful UPfest in Bristol last night and were just glad that we managed to get the bulk of our work done on Saturday – when the sun was shining, the crowds were plentiful and the beer was flowing. Sunday turned out to be a different story but at least we managed to get our piece completed and still had time for a good look around.
After an early start on Saturday morning (following some feverish last minute preparations) we managed to make it to the Tobacco Factory for about 11.30 and then onto the Spotted Cow for a midday start. As we were a little late in arriving we got no choice in which boards we got but i think that eventually worked out to our advantage. Once we’d got disco-bag set up we got off to a quick start as we had plenty of work to be getting on with. By about 8pm we were pretty much done for the day so packed our stuff up and headed out for a few (more) beers. Whoever thought of putting us within such easy reach of alcohol in a pub garden certainly has a lot to answer for…
After a night on the town and a very rainy start to the day we return to the Spotted Cow to finish up to find that that some rogue decorators had obviously taken umbrage at our piece and had decided to show us a taste of our own medicine by wallpapering over the whole lot of it! It would also appear that the Grey Ghost Guards were around in the area (possibly in collusion with the rogue decorators) and looking to have our piece cleaned off the wall. Luckily we have some security footage so all will be revealed once we’ve had a chance to examine it and identify the perpatrators…
Anyway we did our best to remove the wallpaper and expose our image underneath resulting in a decayed and battered looking wall with the legend ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’. I’ll get those pesky Daily Mail reading rogue decorators and Grey Ghost Guard critters if it’s the last thing i do…

He was very sweet and gave me some of his rice pudding to eat.

this security guard is so intent in his job, as an escort security to an armored vehicle transporting cash from one bank to another. the armored vehicle was just a few feet away from where we are standing. no smiles for me from this guy.
i guess everytime he climbs in that vehicle, he puts his one foot to the grave. just part of the job.
MOMA security guard keeps an eye on Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (The Young Ladies of Avignon). It's a fine line between Cubism and voyeurism. And yes, this one creeps me out too.

A second, very menacing hired "thug", posing as a security guard who also tried to prevent me from taking photographs in a public street and whose hand can be seen in the related photos, trying to grab my camera. Birmingham, England. 3 Aug 2008.
As a photographer, and a healthcare worker, I actually feel sorry for this guy. He clearly is not the sort of person who should be let loose on the public in the way he was with me, but while at the same time he was threatening me, he has a deep, haunted, sad expression, as if he is carrying a great deal of trouble inside. I hope he can get himself on the right path in life and lose the haunted look.
His colleague on the other hand is just a small-minded idiot who likes to throw his weight around.
