no " how are you? what's up?" no "hey...that's a pretty girl but we can't have that here" nothing of the sort....my answer is "to get some pictures" he comes storming out with the "what are you a wise guy?" thing leaving me no real place to go but defense. he starts with the hands up near my face thing and i ask him to lower them...he does not follow my request. i then quietly tell him that if he won't put his hands down I will drop him...
this engenders a negative response as one might imagine...he goes to his supervisor and comes back with 5 other guys and they all look like they want trouble except the guy that turns out to be the boss...i explain to him my past employment as a member of ny's finest and let him know that my understanding of the laws for photos in nyc were that i just couldn't use a tripod for over 30 minutes but according to him brooklyn bridge park is a state park and subject to different rules that basically say that if they "deem a shoot commercial" it is prohibited...
