Thursday challenge...supermarket sweep!

This was definately the most challenging challenge...not because of the subject but because of the trouble I got in! Who knew they would get upset when I took a picture in the grocery store! These two were perfectly happy to let me take a picture but the staff and store manager were quite angry! These 2 pics were the only ones I got off before the staff escorted me to to the manager...good thing she didn't ask to see my memory card! She actually told me it was illegal to take pictures in the store...HA!!! It probably didn't help much that I laughed when she told me that : ) So...they might not be great...but they'll do!

Just for future reference...which one of you do I call when I get arrested for taking pics.? : )


Couldn't decide which one I liked...so here's the other 'illegal pic.'! Ha!!!

well, your grocery store might be very cranky, but it sure is colorful. This almost looks like a spoof of 60s TV. Sorry you got in so much trouble. If it is any consolation to you, I am always asked to stop taking pictures. I admire folks who can go in, get the picture and get out before anyone drags them off to security.

That looks inviting though!

Happened to me at a mall in France when I was shooting a lovely long line of shiny tills - a security guard came runing up shouting into his radio. He asked me to delete them and he wanted to see me do it. Grrrrr... You're spying for another company lol!!!

pml!! oh jess if only caz and i had been there too, what would they have done to us all then!!? hilarious!!

It is strange isn't it.
People are permitted to take pictures in markets in the land of dictatorships.
But in, so called, "Free Nations" we darn near get arrested.
Great shooting... you certainly did live up to the "challenge".
