I’ve had my photography run in’s with happy sec guards too. It’s comforting to know that as long as your not on private property they can’t stop us from shooting… Gavin

I live in Jordan and take photographs throughout the Middle East. I like to think that I have perfected the art of "guerrilla photography". Security guards and police throughout the region are so suspicious of anyone with a professional looking camera, and if you bring out the tripod, they will swarm on you like a pack of flies. They've been instructed to tell you that taking photographs of [insert everyday object or location here] is 'mamnua' (forbidden), although when you ask them why, they really can't give a reason. It looks like you're staying at the beautiful Jumeira Beach Hotel. It's a great location and one of the best for shooting the Burj al-Arab. Scott, welcome to my world.

Google images and video for some impressive shots of Andre Agassi and Roger Federer playing tennis on the helipad. Scott, you should definitely try to get a helicopter tour of Dubai. An Aerial shoot…of the Palm tree Islands and the World map private islands would be nice. I was really hoping it was an April Fool's – exploding cast cheers – enjoy! scott Heard a rumor that it can easily cost $10,000 per night at Burj Al Arab.

So...in a way that makes sense. Kind of neat you "snuck" by though...in a sense. Granted it does seem rather arbitrary how security approaches some individuals and not others, but from a different tack, I can kind of understand the argument of intellectual property and the potential of lost revenue in mis-marketing. The equivalent would be someone mistakenly reading the 7 Points book in a B&N and when it was time to go, forgot what they were doing and put the book in their bag. They get stopped, told not to do that. All the while, someone else sees an opportunity to sneak past security with their own copy of 7 points....interesting question raised here. On a lighter note, it is kind of ironic that someone from your party (and you were speaking at the [b]photography[/b] show) got stopped from taking [b]photos[/b]!

We moved here 2 years ago from Mississauga and are loving it, except I had to leave the Mississauga Camera Club behind. Are you planning on seeing the flamingos, the 3rd largest mosque in the world [holds 14,000 people], Jebel Hafeet, the Al Ain Palace, Ibn Battuta Mall, etc., etc.? ut Great pictures and I’m pleased you’re enjoying Dubai.
