Unscheduled Meeting with Security

I took this image yesterday afternoon in a Portland-Vancouver area hospital parking lot.  With my job I'm usually in at least one hospital each day.  As I walked out of the hospital I noticed what might be a good B&W photo. The problem started when a security guy pulled up in his van and wanted to know why I was taking pictures. After a few minutes of questions and answers he went on his way after saying they have to be cautious these days. I agreed with him but still felt somewhat guilty for just trying to take a photo. It's too bad that we've reached this point of mistrust in our country but I fully understand the reasons behind it. I guess the other reality is as photo enthusiasts we need to be cautious about when to use our camera and where we point our lens.
