Yeah, it is a shame we have to think that way. Those damn pervs have ruined it for all decent human beings and photographers.

with security guards where cameras are not allowed. I had to beg to take pictures of my own grandchildren playing. It's a sad commentary.

That said, this is a great shot.

That is sad but I can also understand why it's done. I just hope the security guards are well-screened. Were you finally allowed to photograph your grandchildren?

This was two years ago. Last year when I was down there I knew the rules and which parks were no-camera zones, so I didn't even try.

Reminds me of the few I would have gotten if I had a camera with me at the times.

That is the story I am going with....
