I wasn't there 15 minutes when a Security guard stopped and came over to me and asked me what I was doing. When I told him I was taking pictures he laughed, paused and then said; "Well, you can go ahead and take pictures, but we can't be held responsible to anything that happens to you.". To anything that happens to me? What does he think is going to happen? Will I be swallowed by an alligator?
Its just nuts. This (the USA) society is so paranoid about legal repurcussions, security, and privacy that its getting to the point that I sometimes don't feel comfortable taking pictures even in places where people don't want to look at, much less care about. I hear people in London are having trouble just taking candid shots on the street without being accused of casing a joint for terrorist purposes.
Madness!
