80 degree weather + 81% humidity = no. i was just walking around east village b4. i decided around 3:45pm that i was leaving work early to go take some photos, since the forecast for the rest of the week is as follows: scattered shit, scattered, thunder shit, scattered shit. i thought that the sooner the better since our catalog is due in less than 2 weeks. ick! so i trot over to the cardozo law school to get some photos of their lobby. i talk to the front desk, and after a few minutes talking to him and him talking on the phone with some facilities person, the conclusion is that i cant take photos unless i come with our project manager jonathan, or i call the facilities manager. blech. as the security guy’s writing me the number for the manager, i get on the phone with jonathan to see what he can do. im asking him about the contractor, scope of work, time frame, blah blah blah. oh yea, and im taking hip shots with my digital camera too. jonathans going, uh…yea, i told u that last week….yea, im going back wednesday, etc. i get about three good shots and run off. fuck permissions. i trot over to new school next. now with the lobby the way it is, and me looking like a student and all, i couldve just fired some shots off and skip away. but no, i do the dumb thing and ask the front desk again. this time i get to talk to some deaf head of security who refuses to let me take photos unless they do a background check on me. because apparently too many terrorists have been running around as asians with cameras asking to take photos of their lobby. i try some spy shots from the exterior (all i needed was the main foyer) but the glare off the glass doors sucked. *shrug* anyhoo, bollocks to them. next stop goldman sachs. theyre gonna make me wear a hard hat and crush my hair…those bastards.
