My friend got thrown out from the Moomin Museum in Tampere. The guard spotted her taking pictures and said that photographing isn’t allowed. Then my friend decided to get smart and replied “I know. That’s why I came here in the farthest corner to take the picture”. The guard wasn’t amused and kicked her out.
This is what she managed to photograph before The Guard Interfered:
Sometimes you just can’t help but be proud of ones friends.
Haha! What a brilliant story! Thanks for sharing!
Your friend needs to practice her stelth photography techniques. I use no flash, turn off the sound on my camera, wear it around my neck and have become pretty good at getting photos without looking in the viewfinder. You need to be very familiar with your camera. Oh, and sneaky. Sneaky really helps.
Sneaky! I can do that.
I love it!!! You have not become a “photographer” until you have been kicked out of someplace. In my years of shooting I have been “escorted” out of more places than I can count… I have been reported to the police as a “suspicious character” or involved in “suspicious activity”… I have been asked to surrender my film or flash card… I have been bodily shoved off property… it is all part of the adventure!!!
I agree! Plus the original Moomin stories are anarchist in nature, so basically my friend was just honoring the heritage.
