Stubbsy - I have decided to call their Centre Management tomorrow and if I get no satisfaction from them I will contact the big boys. I want to hear from them exactly what their policies are,m why and also why there is no notice to this effect.

I was thinking about this this morning and came to this conclusion:

You will see signs that say NO SKATE BOARDING but that does not stop you walking through that area with a skate board under your arm.

You will see signs that say NO SMOKING that does not mean that you can’t have one in your mouth so long as it is not alight.

So why in the name of hell can’t you walk through a mall with a camera over your shoulder???????


Chris,
I'm interesting to see the outcome, please keep me posted.

Chris, very interested to see the result of your call. This is becoming more common. I am already practising my reply when confronted by these guys, in my best aussie drawl "Mate, don't be stupid, I'm just carrying it, it doesn't even have any film in it!"

Oh how about, "Sorry mate... but it's not a camera... it's a mobile phone that looks a lot like a camera."

I once was doing a series of images on store dummies and manniquins when a shop owner came out of her shop onto the footpath and told me I was not permitted to take photographs of her shiop window! I won't tell you how I responded to that.....but in the usual Australian way.....These people invent laws as they go along. I will not allow people to restrict my legal rights to take photographs.
