Why do you think that's so weird? If I invite somebody to enter my building on my land, shouldn't I as the owner still have some rights? It's not quite so simple as that. But turn it around and look at it from the owners' vantage point. If you have photographers harassing your paying customers, you'll do something about it. I'm willing to bet that the reason there are these strict rules is because some idiot with a camera annoyed the wrong person and kept annoying him when asked to desist. Common courtesy goes a long way in situations like these. When we're not on public land, our right to shoot doesn't trump somebody else's right to privacy. On public land, we can shoot as much as we want. Eric - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
