Did you ask him how business was for him there? I'd be curious to find out what kind of income he got from that.

Saturday at a Home Depot, actually quite brilliant if he was there just for himself, imagine all the weekend dads there...

As a former Home Depot Employee I can attest to the "No Photos" position of the corporate office. As a practice many customers take photos all over the store as stated with cell phone cameras. To date I have not seen it enforced unless it is an obvious competitor.
I am pretty new to the site here and love all of the advise I have read so far.... Just Lurking and will start contributing soon I hope.

That's a great point Danilo. I take many shots in our local farmers-market and only once was told by a lady to stop and when I lowered my camera, she fluffed up her hair, struck a pose and told me to fire away!

That's interesting. I've taken photos of flowers at a couple of my local Publix supermarkets on several occasions. Didn't even think to ask permission first, but no one has ever questioned me or complained about it. I thought about trying Home Depot, but it looks like that's out of the question. Wonder if Low's has the same policy.
When I lived in Miami one of my customers was a large commercial orchid producer. I used to schedule some extra time when I called on them so I could take some quick shots when they had some new variety. This was back in the days of film and I gave the owners dup slides of what ever I shot. They had some printed and hung in their offices and customer reception areas and used a few of them in their advertising material. .......... Coot

Thanks rpavich; so enjoyed that video and what we can all take away from it is "smile broadly and you will hardly ever be blown off"
I hope it is OK to show this image that I shot in London a couple of years ago. I didn't even get close enough to speak with these pretty young women, I just wanted the shot for am album so I waited till they looked my way, held my camera up, away from my face, smiled broadly, pointed at my head and just mouthed the words " Love the hats, girls".

we are talking about photography in a home depot. if you want strickly photography without any other references may i suggest GET A BOOK. any photography web site or any other subject website is going to stray a little bit because posts are written by humans and humans aren't perfect. I suggest you chill out, relax and have fun. you CAN learn alot here. its taught in a more laid back, relaxed fashion.

I agree with both, sometimes I watch threads get all over the place and wish it would get back to the main idea or issue. But yes that people including me can stray so I just accept it when it does, such as now since this has nothing to do with the HD story. It's all ok to me. If I feel the need I'll try to bring it back on track otherwise I just roll with it.

Sometimes the most info and fun comes when a threads wanders. To get back to the origional just start a new thread with the subject matter. I've done that a few times.
:thumbup: Then again, there's always going to be some people you just can't please. :roll: Also new users need to be aware there's a lot of humor involved here and a few (actually a lot, myself included) smarta***s here. :lol: :thumbup:
