So, I’m really upset about something that happened last night.

I’m taking a couple photography classes through UVSC’s community education program which I have really enjoyed. Both classes are on lighting - one on natural light and the other on studio/artificial lighting. When I got home from work I wanted to do something fun and relaxing so I took my camera and my photography books out on the balcony to practice and a little. I was taking pictures of some of the plants I recently hung to attract more humming birds (which by the way, hasn’t worked from what I can tell).

I think I must have been out there for at least 45 minutes when I heard a loud knock at the door. To my surprise, there were two police officers standing there. One was a woman and the other, a male. Apparently one or more neighbors who had seen some flashes and possibly my camera (which was mounted on a tripod, pointed upwards toward the plants) thought I was taking pictures of kids in the condo pool and had called the police. I immediately realized how suspicious it all looked and feel very stupid for doing it in the first place.
