Or, just always wear a “Photography is not a crime” shirt on every photowalk.

I thought it went very well!

By the way, I saw that photo. I can’t believe nobody came out. It’s just one of those things, I guess.

I wanted to go to the protest, but I was holed up with Multivariable Calc homework. I hope it went well. Funny I was shooting right around those stairs not too long ago with my Pentax (film) and I didn’t get harassed at all. I shot quite a few frames as well.

And invite anyone to call the real cops, though I might not in Oakland or Chicago.

The dumber and more slobby the security guard is, the better the picture will be. Go up to Santa Monica on a weekend and practice idiot candids just to get some experience. Also practice tag teaming with a wing man. While the primary photographer is using a good DSLR have the wing man use a point & shoot or cell phone. If they grab for the cell phone, dial 911. In most states, grabbing the phone in the middle of a police call would be interference with an emergency communications, a jailable offense.

The last fellow who tried to grab a camera from me went rolling over a truck side mirror.
