Black & White with Red
A snapshot from Forever 21 store at Del Amo Mall in Torrance (taken before a guard could tell me that no photography is allowed.)
My wife and I have encountered the same problem of being told by shopping mall security guards that photography is not allowed. Even taking photos of Camelback Mountain from the top level of a shopping center parking garage. I don't get what the problem is. They build what are public spaces with design elements to attract and please people, and then say no photos by those people are allowed.
I agree with both of you too! A few days later, I was at the same mall (the open air section) in the evening and they had strings of lights running from one side to the other and it looked really charming. I was quickly told that no photography is allowed. I did get one very fuzzy shot in.
What a perfect color combination, Tash! As I scrolled through the black/white portion I was anticipating the RED and "pop" there it was! I can understand "no photos" in a store where they are protective of their marketing layout but from a parking garage or an open area of a mall? Give me a break! If you can take photos in the Louvre, what is the problem here?
Thanks for visiting and leaving me a comment on my blog.
No photography allowed ? Must have something to do with Homeland Security. Can't see any other reason to restrict the taking of pictures. So many freedoms lost in the Land of the Free since 9/11/2001. :(

I agree with Dave---what's the problem? Anyway, glad you were able to keep this photo.

Why on earth not, one wonders? Over-inflated security egos, perhaps.
Bonjour dear Tash,
Love this picture, so beautiful painting on the wall!
Have a great week ahead,
lots of hugs

Seems like they should welcome the free publicity.
It's a marvelous photo. And of course I can't resist this bit of trivia....Forever 21 originated in Highland Park

Good that you have done this fantastic shot.
Black and white with....red! I love it!
I've taken photos in a mall also....guess I was lucky enough that security wasn't around....jeeeez.
Looks "fresh" and stylish!
I am pleased that you used your camera, and shared it with us:)
