Edwards Cinemas, LaVerne, CA

Located on Foothill Boulevard, just West of D Street, is the Edwards Cinemas complex. It does a roaring business on weekends. I was in the process of shooting a series of bracketted shots when the security guard told me I had to stop. I told him "not so", as while I was shooting on private property, the property is open for public use, which includes taking photographs. He brought my session to an end by parking his little vehicle (in this photo) in front of my camera. effectively ruining further shooting. It's all right, he was just following orders, even if the orders were wrong. I had to laugh, as I was first told that they would call the police if I didn't stop. I didn't, but the police never showed up. It was then that the guard came out again and parked his little vehicle in front of my camera.
