Damn hoodlums August 29, 2007
Posted by tcbp in : Photography , add a commentOnce again Joe and I went out shooting, and in an odd repeat of last year at a go kart track he got kicked out of some place. Actually we both did. Apparently people don’t take kindly to you photographing their construction site which has no markings, warnings or security. Who knew? I realize that if someone were up to no good there’d be a problem, but we weren’t exactly inconspicuous with headlights on our noggins and flashlights and flashes going off repeatedly. I’m pretty sure if you were up to no good you’d be less obvious about it, but I guess that’s just me.
They seemed more concerned with missing things and people getting hurt than anything else, which I can understand. Hopefully they’ll put up some signs or something to keep people out, which I’m sure won’t work at all will work well. If they had something up it would have significantly decreased the chances that we would have gone in there. The funny thing was that we saw several other students wandering around there, including one girl who just seemed to be walking around while talking on her cell phone. I can’t really complain though, the guy who shooed us off was polite, unlike so many security guards.
Since we didn’t fall and knock our heads off on some jagged I-beam I’m sure we’ll live to go somewhere else questionable just for the sake of taking some photos.
I really want that 24mm TS-E lens now!
That construction site would be a great place for paintball or capture the flag or something.
