I’m sure he just thought it’s too dark to take a picture and tried to warn you. He didn’t want you to use up your last film (!?!) in such a poorly lighted environment
He obviously underestimated your photography skills…
It's f*cking painful sometimes. Here in Sydney, Australia a lot of places are very anti photographer (unless your being paid, by them or a magazine doing a piece on them). I know the laws and wont let someone move me on unnecessarily. Unless of course i get caught somewhere i know i shouldn't be, then i'm happy to move on as i'm usually taking a risk being there in the first place. Anyway, longtime reader & love your photo's Mr Hawk. Have been reading your blog since i met you ages ago on zooomr when we were still testing the site.
All i'm trying to say is… This is a great shot and some people are just straight up f*ckwits.
That’s probably the best photograph in a room where photographs can’t be taken.
Did they throw you out after that?
Alright, what’s the rest of the story? Sound like another good one.
sock it to the man tom. nice shot.
easier to beg forgiveness than to ask permission i say…
