David....You didn't understand the question. This thread is about photographers' rights. Rights to take photos from public places. You've posted photos from a private place where you were asked not to take photos. That is not an illustration of the assertion of a right, but an illustration of a photographer doing what he wishes on private property despite what he had been asked not to do. Without getting a license or prior permission ahead of time, you're exactly the reason that photographers have a hard time when they ARE within their rights. So, despite the fact that you feel that your photo of an excellent piece of art was worth trampling on the rights of others.....and you're posting it here as if to say, "look what my bad deed resulted in," the rest is that us poor bums have to sweep up the scat the undisciplined leave behind. I.E. If all behaved professionally, then perhaps we wouldn't be accosted by neighbors and the police so often.

Long story short....you have no excuse and your photo is ill gotten gain. You're too old to be proud of your poopoos.

Yup! David did something he was not supposed to do and the people around him or the official if caught him wouldn't think he did anything more than what he actually did. Taking pictures in places he was not supposed to. The irony is that if I a man of color, driving a beaten up car and not well dressed, if I were to take a picture of a nice house in the Highland Park area (David would know where it is) where there are many old but very nice houses I would be suspected of doing something a lot worse (like robbing the house) and yet I would be doing something I am entitled to by the law. So even though it's something legal I would not do it.
