Excellent observation. Thank you!

I'll second that.

I know when I go, my photography - poor as it is - will be my only memorial.
Already some of my earlier shots are taking on historic significance, purely
because they are of things and people now gone. As time goes on, everybody's
shots will have cultural value to someone.

I object strongly to some untrained dweeb in a K-Mart suit telling me what I
can and cannot photograph in a public place!

Back in the olden days of film, you could use this to your advantage. At
Fry's Electronics, if they caught you taking pictures in the store they
would demand your film, and they would have it developed and printed at
their expense and then return to you all photos and negatives, except
those taken in the store.

The last time I visited the Tower of London, when you went to the area
where the Crown Jewels were displayed there was no photography
allowed. There were reels of 35mm film pulled out and exposed hanging
as a warning. I wonder if they now hang SD cards up.

As you can/could get film, photos and guidebooks about the Crown jewels and the layout of the room they were in I think it was more of a commercial than security reason.

You don't want people spending a lot of time taking photos as it slows up the flow, you want people to buy the merchandise and it is possible that the flash could in days con by affect the sensors (fire or security)

I expect the rolls of exposed film were simply a bit of ju ju and not from any tourists camera :-)
