I have seen a couple of postings recently - maybe not all that recently - concerning photography in public places. I am happy to report a pleasant outcome to one such encounter

A couple of weeks ago Bob_Bobski and I were out on the search for the perfect Candid shot and we ended up at Gunwharf Quays - a large retail outlet in Portsmouth. We were happily wasting pixels when we were confronted by security guards telling us we couldn't take pictures. At the time I was quite affronted but kept my cool. It was all very polite and everything but I told them that I would be taking it further. They even gave me a name to contact - so I did.

I am happy to announce to you all that a workable compromise has been reached. So it's Gunwharf Quays here I come - challenges permitting!

Having had time to reflect on the situation, I am actually quite glad that we were confronted. It is unfortunately a by-product of the times we live in that we must be vigilant for all sorts of reasons and it is comforting to see security in action.

Common sense a rare commodity, I am glad to report is alive, well and being used in Portsmouth!
