Nitetime Photo Outing

Another happening outing for the 2nd photoshoot session - The NIGHT SCENE. We met at 6pm. Our photography instructor,Francis, brought us to the back alley of Bugis Village, where all the colorful spiral staircases were.

As i was setting up my tripod, a hostile woman walked over and said, "What are you taking? For what kind of purpose? Didn't the security tell you all cannot take photos here?"

I was offended by her tone and her hostile manner. I told her straight at her face that we took these photos for our own interest.

"Even if its for your own interest but you all cannot take photo here because too many people taking already!"

So whats the problem with too many people taking the spiral staircases? I gave her "what are you talking about" look.

Francis saw it and quickly come up and explain to her.
Francis: "Hi, I saw you before."
Hostile woman: "Where are you from?"
Francis: "Im from PA and I brought my students to complete one of their assignments."

Upon hearing the word "PA", this woman starts tone down.
Hostile woman: "Did you get any approval from the management here?"
Francis: "As you know the process is always too long. But I can give you my contact no and details. You can always check."
Hostile woman: "Alright, i will get the security to write down the details."

OMG, they actually hired 2 securities just to stop people from taking photos there!!! Even though this big hoo-ha is over. Im still quite pissed with the whole incident.
1) This woman is rude and hostile as if we own her one million dollars.
2) Whats wrong with taking photos at the spiral staircases??? Its not as if it is the classified area where all the confidential documents are..
3) Just because too many people has been taking this spiral staircases, so we cannot take?

So I think next time, we cannot take photos at esplanade or merlion because too many people taking photos there already!!!
