I have been asked several times as to why I was taking photos, a few times all they asked was "Who are you working for?" I was stopped twice, once at an oil refinery at night (I was NOT on public property) and once at a department store. Friends that have been with me have commented on my willingness to step over the boundries, I almost always step over the line, climb the fence or go under the gate to get a shot. Only one instance really stands out in my mind was when I was in a public square and a woman approched me, angry, accusing me of taking photos of her daughter, I showed her my photos, they were all of flowers nearby, in reality, anyone in public is fair game, there are no privacy laws in the Constitution and we are in reality being photographed everywhere. In most stores, any bank, any sporting event, parade, concert, a gathering of any kind, and once a day I try to remember to look up in the sky and smile for my satallite photo.
