I Didn't Know You Couldn't Do That.

For typeography class we are required to go around town and take pictures of the different styles that are used. There is a strip of stores next to the mall that has some interesting text, but don't go there to take pictures. There was a group of us Kevin, Adrian, Becca, Meredith, and me. I stepped out of the vehicle and started to take a picture of the Office Depot sign when in the distance I heard a voice say, "You can't take pictures here." I asked the group if they heard anyone, but no one else did. I continued on my way to another sign, Pella, to take pictures. Then I hear it again, it was a security guard that had been stationed in a plain white van. He was telling Kevin not to take pictures because it was private property. Kevin wanted to see it in writing, but we all knew that wasn't going to happen. The guard was getting irritated, so we got back in the vehicle. The guard went back to his van and continued to eyeball us. I said that we should drive by the Pella sign and slow down so I could get a good picture. When we did that the guard started to get out of his van and come toward us. We high-tailed it out of there, and with the forbidden photographs. We never had a problem taking pictures anywhere else. Talk about a power trip.
