Miss, Miss. Please step back from the statue.

Well, this is the 2nd time this has happened since I got my new camera a few months ago. Guards at museums tell me to not get so close to the the objects I'm photographing!

Now, photography isn't forbidden...oh no, it's just that I'm "too close."

Why didn't this happen when I used my older camera???

New Camera:
Lesson: Big honking camera gets you noticed by cranky, bored museum guards.

At least he called me Miss and not Ma'am.
