I took this in my local grocery store floral department. Often when I take my OMD EM1 with Pro lens into places like this management will start asking questions. "Who are you?" "Who do you work for?" "What are you going to do with that?"

And nowadays you have to think twice about seeming suspicious!

My county courthouse dates back to 1895, is a grand old Romanesque style building, and is listed with the National Registry of Historic Sites. I had my good camera with me last fall and wanted to take some photos of it but being by myself, I was afraid some cop would come up to me and ask me what I was doing. I took a few quick shots and left. Same thing when up at the Lake Erie lakeshore last fall. I wanted to stop and pull over by the side of the road and take pictures of an ore freighter at the dock but was afraid of looking suspicious. Signs were posted all over ….SECURITY CAMERAS IN USE ….which were rather off putting, if you know what I mean!
