I was at PHL on Sunday trying to learn the art of shooting in overcast conditions. I got the hairbrained idea to try shooting through the fence at PHL on Sunday. I was just so tired of having the fence in my shots, everyone here can understand, I'm sure. Well wouldn't you know it, the very first time I walked up to the fence a Philadelphia cop goes by. I take my shots and get back in the car. Sure enough he pulls a U-turn parks behind me and flips on the cherries.
He was extremely polite and introduced himself as "airport security". I don't think I ever met a nicer cop. He was even trying to explain his presence to me- I was totally baffled. I was like "Sir, you needn't explain a thing- I completely understand. Just so you know, I don't touch the fence or stick anything through it." He even asked how I was keeping the fence out of my shots and understood this is a harmless "hobby". I was trying to see his name tag but didn't want to be too obvious about it. He checked my license and reg, saw I wasn't a wanted man, and went on his way, but not before I gave him my card!
I'm sure the next time this happens I'll get the cop whose wife just left and kid dropped out of college
