Back in November a Landmark Line person ran up to the fence while I was on a public sidewalk and said I couldn't take pictures of airplanes or the Landmark ramp, I walked across the street to a business and he finally went back to his duties so I walked to my truck then he was back at the fence just staring at me so I took his photo and he started with the 'prepare to copy license plate' stuff on his radio. So I left and came back and got the pics of Exxon-Mobils G650 &G550 from across the street. I posted those and his on Flickr and here. Tonight I came home from work and had a Flickr-mail from him, he had seen his photo on my page and would like it removed...and he did say please...
My first thought was to thank him for the apology and take the photos down knowing he did what his supervisor told him to do, but this Landmark crap was supposed to have been settled last year and ceased after I met with the PR guy at SAT and Sgt. Garcia of APD. Photographers rights and general freedoms that go along with being an American citizen should never be trampled upon or questioned.Removal of Photos
Good Evening,
After looking through some aviation photos thru Flikr I ran across two photos you have posted of myself on your account, I am asking that you please remove these.
If you can recall at Landmark Aviation I had asked you not to take photos on our ramp, this coming from my supervisor who wanted this task completed. After I talked with him about photography within our company's fence line I went to my manager for a follow up, his answers were both yes and no.
So I figured instead of sitting here trying to debate how to approach this I would contact you via email. Firstly I would like to apologize for the way I approached you on the fence line, I too have been in aviation since I was a kid, taken pictures with the same approach from others.
Second: I got an answer that as long as you are not inside the parking lot of Landmark you can take pictures roadside or across the street.
As before I would like to apologize...
