Really have to laugh at this thread. What a storm in a teacup. I seems to me that you wanted to get a little bit of "fame" and now you seem to be milking it for all its worth. You really think you are going to be targetted by photographers because you have made this hospital off limits. I really think you are blowing this out of proportion. My experiance of photographers is that most are geeky loaners who really wont be up to building a bomb to strap to your car.
This story is typical of scottish news, trying to compete with england for big scoops and this is the best they can come up with. My wife actually mentioned while whatching the news this evening (before I read this thread) that this was scotlands rather weak answer to the lost laptop, top secret documents stories, Its quite cute actually. There must heve been no wheelie bins stolen this recently for this to be the headline.
Did they ask you to bring along your photo gear or was that you idea?
1: I wanted my photo in their weekly Gallery, not fame.
2: I am milking nothing, I have been offered money from the sun and daily record for the pics, I told them to give it all to charity.
3: Geeky loaners who threaten to post my address and telephone numbers on a public web site. Geeky loaners who tell their mates to "go fetch", geeky loaners who email me telling me to watch my back as I am now a marked man. Nice guys, them geeky loaners.
And yup I was asked to take my gear.
