I took this shot with my Canon AE-1, using a 50mm f/1.4 FD lens on Kodak Tmax 400 Black and White film. This horse stands outside of the P.F. Chang's Chinese Bistro at the Mall of Georgia in Buford, GA.


As I was taking this shot, I guess the staff inside thought I was casing the joint, because they called Mall security on me. This guy comes up to me on a Segue and asks me what I am doing. I tell him that I am taking photographs during my lunch hour. I then explain that I looked everywhere I could to see if photography was prohibited, but I could not find any sign saying so. He explained that photography wasn't prohibited. So then I asked him why he was stopping me. He said, "The people in P.F. Chang's thought you might be a terrorist taking pictures.

You gotta be kidding me.
