This is America. You certainly have a right to photograph where you want to....
But don't be surprised if someone asks you what you're doing.

hey! This happened to me yesterday. I was taking photos of some slum lord apartments that are finally being renovated and some guy comes up to me and asks me could he help me. I said "no thanks" and moved to take a picture of the sign fronting the apartments. He moved closer. I have to ask you what you're taking pix for. I thought--gee dude, none of your biz. But, I said, "for the web page." He said Oh, it's just that some people have been taking pictures that weren't supposed to. "Oh, I said, well, I am on public property, here in the street." Knowing that he had no more information than when he started talking to me, I left. What's up with that?
p.s. I grew up in St. Petersburg and have great memories of ole Gulfport. It's too bad it all has to change.

thanks for your comment cara,
I'm not sure it all has to change, most of the Gulfport developers so far have made noise about keeping things the way they were. They still have the two and a half story ordinance for the height of buildings.
St Pete is in major transition. If I had a camera these past few years I would have tried to document the way they ripped out old mossy oaks and Banyans to put in condos and a shoping center. the theater/shopping area has a dress code that seems to focus on things young people wear. Especially young black people.
On the Photography question , did you see how Rumsfeld banned Camera-phones in Iraq?
