Security guards are becoming notorious for trying to stop photography of the buildings they work for. Many here probably saw this story before but click here for the encounter one photographer had in San FranciscoThe photographer writes: Yesterday I was shooting some photos of One Bush St. (the building where Bush and Market Streets intersect) when their security guard came out of his little glass jewelbox lobby hut to ask me to stop taking photos of the building. He said it was illegal. I moved to the sidewalk and continued taking photos and he again asked me to stop. When I told him I was on a public street sidewalk he said that actually they owned the sidewalk and that I was going to have to stop taking photographs. The photographer, who is well known at Flickr and BoingBoing, made some waves: Update: Boing Boing picked up this story and of course from there the traffic goes nuts. There is now a photo contest to shoot photos of the building and a meet up planned on Saturday at noon to shoot the building. The final result of all this is that building management ended up reassuring photographers that there was no policy against photography of the building. It takes perseverance and a photographer with determination but the fight can be won. |
