As I have said in previous posts I was to shoot a "Peace Action" today. Well I can tell you that a hightened state of alert is an expensive proposition. At the site today I wanted to get a unique perspective of the people with their signs. I saw a dog walking across a Trolly trestle and was going to try to get the dog and maybe get a shot while I was up there. I walked up the trestle and saw no signs stating I couldn't go up there (the sigens are at the stop, I never got to a stop). Once up there the dog went to the other end as a police officer exited the district court across the street. All he sees is some guy on the trestle with cameras hanging around his neck. When I came down to talk to him he promptly cited me for "Criminal Trespassing". Cost, $417(US). Never got the dog or the shot. I did get this one with the digital just litterly shooting from the hip as I was walking down to meet the officer. The dog finally came down and dashed across the street never to be found. Be careful, tolerance is very low. Magick Michael PS I am taking donations to assist this poor unemployed photographer in paying the fine.
