funny, the guy who saw me snapping this shot tried to photograph the same thing but another security guard yelled at him and told him to move along.
I'm still baffled how he managed to accomplished this. Must be clenching his glutes.
Returning the photographer's gaze - sometimes with a proud and knowing smile, an indignant look of resistance and mimicry, or a long studied stare as the observer becomes the observed. The gaze is returned, the observer othered. Subject owns the gaze for a frozen moment.
Saitoti, a Maasai elder, travels each year from his home in a small semi-nomadic pastoral settlement nestled in the Kenyan foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro (near Amboseli National Park and the border with Tanzania, Rift Valley Province) to work as a security guard in Lamu, an island off Kenya's northern Swahili Coast. The money he earns goes towards the upkeep of his family and cattle back in the homeland.

Continuing with this little series of shots taken over the last month or so and only just sorted through, for tonight. Indeed this was taken early in the walk that ended soon after I'd taken the last post. I think there's a few I want to show y'all in the form of those mini-series I was doing a little while ago. So, we might return to those sometime soon, although I still have a few batches of photos to find my way through yet!

So I know that I write a lot about being harassed for my photography on the streets of San Francisco and for some this story may be getting old. I shoot every day though and at least once or twice a month have a run in with a security guard or authority figure of some sort somewhere. Typically I can resolve these episodes on my own amicably with the individual involved, but sometimes things go over the line. In the past year I've blogged about three of these incidents that crossed the line. One was when a security guard at One Bush was following me around the sidewalk trying to put his hand in front of my camera and not allowing me to shoot the building. Another was when the Sheriff's Department detained me and ran what I consider an illegal background check on me merely for shooting near the train tracks in Oakland. Another was when a particular nasty altercation took place between me and a security guard who came out of 45 Fremont middle finger a'blazin' to insist that I not shoot that building.
But today's episode was the worst I've encountered so far. Ironically enough, it occurred once again outside of 45 Fremont Street. This was even after I spoke with a PR person from the Shorenstein owned property who apologized to me for my treatment and assured me that I would find a more tolerant atmosphere at that property in the future.
Today, aqui-ali (another local Flickr photographer), helveticaneue (in from out of town) and I went out to do a bit of shooting. Since Aqui had a meeting down on 2nd Street later this afternoon we decided to head that way and shoot the Transbay Terminal. 45 Fremont was in our path and we were shooting some photos of it as we were walking by. It was then that the security guard there told us that we could not shoot the building. When I explained that we were in a public area and had a right to shoot the building he insisted and called another security guard over on his radio who also tried to get us to stop taking pictures of the building. I still refused as it is my right to shoot buildings in San Francisco from a public area.
It was at this point that things went from bad to worse. At this point an individual came over who identified himself as a police officer and told us to get out of the plaza, off the sidewalk and to physically stand on the asphalt in the street where the cars were driving by. When I tried to object this individual (who was significantly larger than me) assaulted me and forcibly grabbed my arm quite hard and pulled me towards the street. When I freed myself from his grip I told him that I was going to take his photograph. He told me that I could not take his photograph and that if I did that I could "watch what would happen to my camera."
I took his photograph anyways and that is him up there at the top of the story. Once he had us physically on the asphalt in the traffic off the sidewalk I once again asked him for his identification and asked to see his badge. He refused to provide me his identification and refused to show me his badge. It is my understanding that when someone identifies themselves as a police officer that I have a right to see their identification proving this fact. This prevents anyone from falsely impersonating police officers and abusing a false authority. I asked him at least five times to see his badge and he refused. He continued to confer with the security guards at the building though.

I've never before seen private security on bicycles. I guess the gas prices have called for innovation.

This was a bit of a more difficult character to make, not just some of the details on the character (and that was the easier part), his giant frigging wheel vehicle thing was hard to figure out how to build (It's actually not finished because I don't have enough pieces, I just put it at an angle to make it seem that way, but I still love how it looks. Oh yeah, this is a minor Spider-Man Villain, he has something against Rocket Racer or something, and his appearance is based off a combination of the comic version and a cartoon version.

I don't have high hopes regarding this country. The absence of tolerance, kindness,compassion is severe right now. Extreme polarization is devastating the moral values to the core. Yet, there is always a glimpse of hope...
