• Future Shop, Calgary, Alberta, Canada • March 23, 2004 • Taken by Joe •

It was an adventure to get this photo. We knew the Future Shop has lots of TV's on display. We also knew
they won't be happy to see us walking around shooting photos... and, they have lots of surveillance cameras
around the store. So... how do we go about that???

Joe had is coat half zipped, and the camera right underneath. He set the camera while we were still in the
van, (no flash of course!) and then we walked in. Joe was clicking away without even looking at the screen,
and that's the best one we've found when we checked the photos on the screen.

See what we're willing to do for Theme Thursday??? *s*.

Great stealthy photography! I had a great experience at our Hudson's Bay (department store).
I had my large camera bag with me and didnt think I could quickly take a picture, so I asked. They
made a quick call (less than 1 min) and then helped me out and invited me back. I was speechless!
(BTW the service at our local Future Shop has decreased dramatically with the increase in competition.)

now *that* is dedication. I wonder why stores are so weird about photography. I mean, when I was
in NYC, nobody cared. Downtown Seattle, they don't care. But go into the burbs and it's like "excuse
me, what are you doing with *that*?" Oh well. It definitely adds to the feeling of the shot.

Why did you not just ask if you could do this? I know I have done this and explained it to them, mostly
they love it and want your url with it to look what you did with it...

but again I am living in the Netherlands and also here you get no's and I won't go there...
