Promo for Vans trainers, Market St, Arndale, Manchester, uk. Enthusiasm, incentive and balls required to wear an advertising motif such as this (imho). These young people were advertising "Vans" trainers when they were approached by an Arndale security guard. No prizes for guessing what the security gaurd was saying...
'You can't do that in here...'
Night Watchman
Clyde M Brewer, 36 years old, works the graveyard shift. He is the night watchman. It was his lucky evening. The day shift left a box of donuts in the lunchroom. It is three o’clock in the morning and he has five more hours to go. He is bored out of his skull. He knocked off his sixth donut of the evening and washed it down with a tepid cup of thermos java. He fired up a Pell Mell king size non filter with his trusty brass zippo. It was the last one in the pack. It is a good thing he had a fresh pack in his vest, he thought, as he tapped his pocket to make sure that the next 20 “Red Deaths” were there. They were. He felt secure knowing he had a fresh pack to help him make through the night. He crushed the empty pack and flipped it toward the garbage cans. He missed his target but hit one of the cats. The cat arched his back, hissed and to off running into the shadows. Brewer coughed and hacked up a gob of lung gunk and spit it on to the tracks. When he was finished with the smoke, he ground the butt out with the toe of his shoe. He stood silent, arms akimbo, and observed the area for a few minutes. All was quiet. He took the fresh pack from his vest and went through an elaborate ritual opening the pack. He took out a smoke, fired it up, and took a deep drag, then another before flipping the butt onto the tracks. He contemplated going down to the lunchroom and snagging another donut. A filled maple bar this time, he thought. He looked at his Timex. It was six minutes past three in the morning. He had four hours and fifty four minutes to go.

Giant flower pot on Sveta Nedelya Square in Sofia, Bulgaria. As I was taking this picture, the security guard on the left walked over to me and started talking to me in Bulgarian. I conveyed the fact that I was a foreign tourist and he smiled and walked back.
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..
Manila's 'King of the Road' is the Jeepney.
In between harassment from SM security guards with delusions of granduer, a few shots of these colourful icons were grabbed.
They make sure that everything is in order and that no one is smoking nor drinking in the area where the audience listens to the concerts.

Driver's view from inside a vehicle as a young, male police officer reaches in for your license. You better hope you weren't doing something wrong, or you're in trouble now.
Security guard on duty at the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern in London. In the foreground there is a large heat-sensitive floor which is part of an exhibit, which subsequently opened, by artist Tania Bruguera in which visitors use their body heat to reveal a hidden portrait of Yousef, a young man who left Syria to come to London.
The ID controls have been made by Securitas, a security company. The guards were hired on three month contract. This man will go on doing regular patrol guarding on a bike around Copenhagen, but he was lucky. Many more will loose their job.
This truck is either a Peterbilt 325, 330 or 337. Nothing too unique about it but I do like the black wheels. Of course the license plate has numbers but I erased them for obvious reasons.This truck has self-inflating run flat tires and bullet resistant glass according to GardaWorld's own website.

As soon as the security guard spotted me walk up to the 'caution' tape and saw my camera, he notified me that I'm not allowed to take pictures of the building. I should print this out and give it to him.
A day at the races. Waiting for the horses to exit the stables and enter the parading area. Next Saturday is the big one. Wellington Cup day. Trentham Race Course.
Let me introduce the most multi-role person you will hear about today.
Habibur Rahman is a former soldier who retired from Bangladesh Army as a sergeant. Now he is a security commander at Social Islami Bank Limited headquarters situated at the tallest structure in Bangladesh. He is also the Muezzin, curator, and an occasional Imam of the bank’s central Masjid.
Due to multiple titles and names by many ranks of the organisation, his name has been now simplified to “Habib Bhai”, which is “Brother Habib” in English.
Habib bhai was trimming his beard this morning when I paid a visit at the Masjid. His candid profile as well as the meticulous light (masha Allah) kind of drove me to draw my phone out of pocket like a silent assassin does with his gun after finding the target. And what you see is the moment when he noticed after a few shots that he got company despite an oversize me within a yard. No, I don’t doubt his military instincts.

Cincinnati Comic Expo at the Convention Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. This guy was in an appropriate costume for providing security for the event. He was doing duty at the door checking that people trying to enter had paid. Translated: he was keeping out people like me who hadn't paid.
He had military appearing garb, what looked like a bullet proof vest and a realistic looking fake rifle - perfect for the job.
I wonder if "parking off" in the office is allowed? A fun test morning with the folks from Kameraz, a Johannesburg photography retailer, and Fujifilm South Africa, to try out some of their "X"-series cameras at the Johannesburg Zoo. A security guard enjoying a mid-morning nap. No parking in front of the office, but "parking off" clearly not a problem.
It is seven fifty AM on a bright and sunny morning. Ten more minutes to go before Clyde will be done with his shift. He knocked off the last of the donuts. Panic attack! What if his relief man did not show up? It would not be the first time that he was tardy. One time he game in three hours late. What is rule # six on the Watchman List of duties? Do not leave your post until properly relieved. Screw overtime. Clyde paced the loading dock deck and inhaled Pell Mell and wished that he was in the sack. At seven fifty nine AM Lodi Elkins arrived and assumed the day watch. Clyde M. Brewer was relieved.
Bangkok, THAILAND - Jan 30, 2014: Security guards walk hand in hand for protect Suthep Thaugsuban, during the march a march from On Nut to Pathumwan junction.
Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said "baby can't you see
I wanna be famous, a star of the screen
But you do something in between"
"Baby, you can drive my car
yes, I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you"
I told that girl that my prospects were good
And she said "baby it's understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time"
"Baby, you can drive my car
yes, I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you"
Beep beep mm beep beep, yeah
This guy was the security guard at one of the ad agencies I freelance at in London, the building is on Eversholt Street just nearby to Euston Station, there were quite a few businesses based here that mostly dealt with the dark arts of advertising, marketing and design. It looks as if he's plugged in in the photograph, it would be nice to say that I was eagle eyed and framed him to appear just so, but alas no I noticed this happy surprise after getting the film developed at Metro Imaging on Great Marlborough Street. Metro have since moved over Clerkenwell way, such is film's demise. I underexposed the shot by about two stops and it took quite a lot of work to salvage this pic, but hey at least it's better than nothing.
