So, I’m pretty excited about a lot of these photos I took last weekend, cross-Missouri. So here’s another.

Incidentally, I took this from the top of a downtown St. Louis parking garage. When exiting at the street level, garage workers took notice of my camera and lens and claimed that “cameras are not allowed” in the garage. Now, I understand these people were probably the working poor, at whim to their college-educated corporate overlords - overlords who, with their comb-overs and sycophantic yearnings to impress their superiors, decide that to look “proactive,” they will make a baseless claim against photography, as if their stupid parking garage is so vital to national security interests that Osama bin Laden would draw his attack blueprints from the photos after I post them to the Internet.

It’s the same idiocy that makes the security guards in downtown Kansas City claim that one cannot take photos at the base of One Kansas City Place - the tallest bloody building in the state that can be seen for miles and miles. But as I said, photographers are scapegoated and criminalized by small-minded managerial types who lack a basic grasp of logic. If the government and the corporations don’t want their buildings photographed, then they should be under ground.

Now back to regularly scheduled programming.
