Troy had heard the reputation that the 555 California Building’s security guards had for hassling photographers, so he tried out the experiment of photographing (legally) the building, and was met by potty-mouth security guards who threatened to break his “fucking camera” and punch him in the face. A rep from property managers Voranado Realty later apologized and said that this wasn’t “typical of our security team.”
I think a lawsuit is in order. I also think people should go by and photograph these guys daily. But when I first saw the headline, I thought there were 555 security guards. Now that would have made an impressive picture . . . .
