Mall of Asia, Philippines

If you're touring The Philippines, MOA is a "must" place to go so you can shop your hearts out.

I actually stole this shot, didn't have permit to shoot here. I was very lucky that when I got to this scene there were no guards for about 2 minutes.

Within that 2 minutes I was able to mount my tripod and set the proper exposure in my cam. Seeing one of the guards approaching, I quickly pressed the shutter continuously.

They told me to erase all my shots. Screw them! I told them I didn't got the time to shoot yet and I started asking questions about how to get a permit to lead the conversation away.

By the way there were 3 guards. 2 of them were riding motorcycles.

Who needs permit to shoot. This is a public place!
