I don't trespass when taking pictures of old buildings (well, hardly ever) but my husband gets nervous at some of the places I go. I've photographed this house, Ashland Belle Helene, dozens of times, staying behind the fence. I've even had security guards tell me to go ahead as long as I did not go beyond the fence. On this day, a security guard zoomed up, blocking my car in and told me I'd have to move on. Of course my husband was with me....
As long as you're on public property, the security guard has no say in the matter, but some have an inflated notion of the extent of their power. I agree with Katy, it's a super pic and worth the effort. Your husband agrees too, but if he's like my husband, he may not say so. :)
@sunnygreenwood Thanks! So many times, all I have to do is hold up my camera and a security guard waves an OK. I think this one was new on the job and a little full of herself.
