I kinda have that fear of shooting in public, but then again, lookin at me, the public has a fear of me.

Im also more comfortable alone, and away from public places out in nature. I have been escorted out of a cemetery in Toronto for takin pics there. Apparently it is a privacy issue. After I looked into it a bit more, I found that, if for instance a cemetery is privatly owned they make the rules. I can take the same pic from the street, it is o.k , but being on the property was against the rules. My issue was the that there were no signs saying photography is prohibited.
I got hassled by a security guard, at a building downtown, cause I was on the buildings property taking a pic of the reflections off the building. He came out, and told me I was wrong. So I walked to the sidewalk and took the same pic. :lmao:
My biggest problem is people in my shots. I have had a finger pointed at me a few times, by somebody saying..."you better not get me in your picture" I have wanted to reply..."then get the f......the way" , but stay quiet.
I was also hassled at my buddies sons hockey game. I was invited to come take a pics of him in his uniform before the season was over. As soon as I pulled out the camera to take his picture...in the hallway...I was hassled by security, cause another "mother" complained I had a camera.
Now I just check out the surroundings, or ask whoever is in the area, if I can take photos there.
