I was shooting a grocery store's mustard display for an online "Yellow" subject challenge, and a store employee quickly swooped and asked if I needed any help. I said I was looking for the yogurt, which was true, and she walked me to it and then to the checkout aisle.Markhttp://blog.markwill.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-74179803255701278322011-12-01T22:34:09.153-05:002011-12-01T22:34:09.153-05:00Twice that I can remember.
The first time was when...Twice that I can remember.<br />The first time was when I was taking pictures of the demolition of Cottonwood Mall. I was on their property (one store was still open for business, I was in their parking lot) and the mall cop told me that I wasn't allowed to take pictures on the property. He actually cited Homeland Security as the reason, like terrorists would want to bomb a demolished, uninhabited mall. So I just went off their property onto the public street and used my telephoto lens.<br />Just recently I was asked to stop taking pictures inside the Home Depot. I can't remember which theme it was for, but I was taking them for Thematic Photographic. Fortunately I got enough good ones before I was 'caught'.Max Sartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07271198231897203659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-30407909710380351142011-12-01T11:11:15.865-05:002011-12-01T11:11:15.865-05:00So far not really....and these kinds of sudden fla...So far not really....and these kinds of sudden flashes and sirens and screaming sounds that break into our lives, do deserve a quick sneak.....it goes without saying right, drop a glass and everyone looks.....it's in our nature....!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-40108112938744005082011-12-01T10:45:47.344-05:002011-12-01T10:45:47.344-05:00Well...this is timely.

I was there this past Saturday all psyched to take pictures of this iconic building. I set-up, fired off about 3 brackets when I was told that I couldn't use my tripod. Now I argued a little but it didn't make much of a difference. If you want to see the shot I came away with its here. http://edithlevyphotography.com/2011/11/30/union-station/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-82133687637982111422011-12-01T09:13:37.537-05:002011-12-01T09:13:37.537-05:00So far, I haven't.... then again, I am more sn...So far, I haven't.... then again, I am more sneakier....lol :-)Kalei's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331539743751163269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-27329257900180905732011-12-01T08:36:18.968-05:002011-12-01T08:36:18.968-05:00You asked, so here goes.
When I was a photojourna...You asked, so here goes.<br /><br />When I was a photojournalism intern at a Kansas daily newspaper, the photogs sent me to take pictures at a local elementary school. I can't remember why, but something mildly controversial. The principal saw me and demanded I hand over my film. I was very green and did it. The photogs back at the paper couldn't believe I had done that. Oops.<br /><br />Another time, same job, I was the only photographer not already out on an assignment, and a reporter grabbed me and drove us to the scene of a shooting. Turns out it was accidental, but when I was aiming my camera at the victim, his father (or some very large, intimidating man) came toward me and boldly told me to stop taking pictures. I lowered my camera, but it was just the diversion another photog who had since arrived (from our paper) to get a great shot of them rolling him out the door on a gurney (very much alive).<br /><br />The one shot I got did go in the paper, as it turned out to be a cop holding the weapon used in the shooting.<br /><br />I asked the pros what they do in situations like that, and one replied, "I just figure that my Nikon upside his head wouldn't feel too good."Markhttp://blog.markwill.com/noreply@blogger.com
