The problem I have, whenever I photograph on private property such as
malls, is being hassled by security. I have even seen malls where they
say no cameras permitted for the privacy of our shoppers. I think it's a
good idea for a project but be forewarned that you can't just go in
carte blanche and start photographing.

 Eric, as someone affiliated with a newspaper, gains certain allowances
unless, of course, it's bad news then they'll try to stop him. At least
those are my experiences.
