Interesting 'run in': I went to my local Home Depot yesterday and on my way out spotted a guy at a table setup in the foyer. He had his camera (Canon 3ti) and a printer and a laptop.

He was offering a photo, printed out on the spot (4 x 6)

I didn't ask his pricing but thought that was an interesting way to make a bit of money on a Saturday morning.
Home Depot had obviously been very accomodating as he was fully plugged into mains power for his laptop and printer.

Got to ask: Did the guy have any sort of backdrop, or "studio lighting" set up, or did you get to pose in front of the lawn mowers?

No backdrop, no studio setup. Pose in front of the lawnmowers or the hotdog stand I guess.

Wait!!!. I think he had a white sheet on a stand off to one side.

Sure, I agree but at least he had novelty value and might just make a bit of money. Dad's taking the kids to the DIY store on a saturday morning. :D :D

I hate to tell you guys but the headquarters of the KKK and the headquaters of the american nazi party is up north not in the south. its a cliche and stereotype. you want a racist city try boston. Not a native southener but one in spirit. FYI everybody thinks DIXIE the song was written in the south. it was actualy written in Michigan for a travelling minstrieal show. when news came to DC that lee had surrendered at apomotox, Lincon had the white house band play dixie as it was one of his favorite songs.

Interesting! I asked permission to take macro-photographs of orchids within my local Home Depot, and the manager called HQ to clarify. I was told that HD absolutely forbids all photography within the store and outside garden areas. It has to do with photos previously being used in court cases against HD. Logic is: no photos = less potential negative evidence. How they expect to enforce this with celfone cameras, is beyond me.

The headquarters for the American Nazi Party is in Westland, MI

As the Klan has fragmented into more than 40 separate factions of varying sizes. There is no one Ku Klux Klan, or headquarters. So technically there is no one true headquarters. The first Klan was founded in 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee, by six veterans of the Confederate Army.

This is exactly why I quit asking permission back when I worked for a newspaper. Every time I asked they would say "No". So I quit asking and always came back with the photos I needed. If they say "Yes" they are relinquishing their authority. If they say "No" they are exerting their authority. I don't ask anymore!
