ONE ANGRY PHOTOGRAPHER:-(

Tonight Ellie surprised me with a trip to the Memphis FedEx Forum to watch a NBA game! I was excited to take my new camera with it's 300 zoom lens! ..looking forward to close up shots of players, fans, halftime entertainment etc... When we arrived there was no handicap parking so Ellie had to call a friend inside the forum to come out and park her car. As we entered the building, I was told I could not bring my camera inside #%^@*.. . WHY NOT? "no professional cameras were allowed in the building" I said I am not a professional. They replied,  "because your camera is so good your pictures would be too good"... DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE #@##%^#@?

I was escorted to the office where I had to leave my camera till the end of the game. So I am posting this crappy picture I took with my cell phone...thanks to the security detail at FedEx!
