The view from where I'm standing

The security Guard: "Don't take that picture, you can't take pictures here."

Me: "But this is a public sidewalk."

I was taking photos for a story about layoffs at Jewish Hospital, standing on the (public) sidewalk when I was aggressively approached by one of the security guards and a public relation representative from the hospital. As it turned out, I was on a public sidewalk and the hospital apologized for the mistake.
