As a result of my experience, I ignore Bayshore as much as possible. Did you ever navigate those streets? I only use the bank, the Apple Store – Boston Store and Kohls because they have perimeter access and were there before the reconstruction. I will even go out of the way to eat at the Cheesecake Factory at Mayfair rather than at Bayshore. How's that for being vindictive.

I had been photographing the construction at Bayshore Mall both off and on premise. I knew it was a matter of time before security would ask me what I was doing. When approached, I told him that as a Glendale resident, I was documenting the progress. He told me that I needed permission to do so. I called and emailed both the construction project manager and the Bayshore marketing department – neither would return the calls or emails.

It is private property and they are protecting their property with the policy of no pictures. What irked me was being ignored by the management – not the security officer, he was doing his job. Funny thing is that during the summertime when the children are playing in the fountain, the parents are taking all kinds of pictures.

Private property has it's protection under the copyright laws – the only exception is when photographs are taken from public streets – the copyright law protects photographers as long as the private property is in public view and that the image is not used for advertising a product.
