A Question for you guys

Well, I can be friendly, but am genetically prevented from the cute part

The only time I get dirty looks is when I set up with my long lens at a local beach (no it is not a nude beach), But I also get a lot of compliments and looki-loos. I suspect the long white lenses of causing this. On the other hand I am fairly and blatantly obvious. On a hill with a tripod and a long white lens and a camera bag with more long white and black lenses.

I have even taken pictures in a casino or two (Sienna in Reno and Monte Carlo in Vegas)
The first was with the permission of security since I wanted a few of the gaming floor with flash, the second was just family pictures in the reception area. No problem with either.

I haven't tried inside a mall yet, but very few ever strike me a photogenic. I have caught some outsides though.

And lastly, although I haven't noticed one in my area. What do they do if the camera store is in the mall. Reminds me of the shopping center with prominant signs saying no bicycles allowed on the property and they had a bicycle dealer in the center (like how do I get my bike from there to home). I ignored those signs since at the time I used my bike to go shopping with (large basket on back, great for daily groceries). I suspect they humored me.

"(like how do I get my bike from there to home)"

Didn't you notice that guy just kept selling the same bike over and over...?
