Last month I almost got kicked out of a parking garage. I was there early planning the shoot while I waited for the model. The security guard showed up and asked what I was doing and I explained I was there to do a photo shoot. He was cool about it, said ok, and walked off. 30 minutes later the model arrived and I began setting up my lights when the security guard came back and said, "you guys can't be here." I was like what. I said you could have told me that a half hour ago. He tried to fool me with saying I needed permits from the city and what not, but I had to explain how our city has an open policy on film/video/photography and permits are not required. So he said I still need to clear it with the garage manager. So I said call him. Finally after about 15 minutes of talking with the manager he agreed to give me 20 minutes to do the shoot. After it all, I did realize spite the city policy I was wrong because I did not clear it with the proper authorities first, my bad. However, knowing the cities policies, my rights, and most of all even though I was upset I was respectful at all times(yes sir, and thank you sir goes a long), I am certain that is what got me my 20 minutes.

Excellent OriginNO_II. It does go a long way being polite, and i'm glad you got the chance to take the shoot.

Really like the photograph, have you others at all?
