I wanted to take some pictures of Christmas decorations in Promenade at Westlake (Westlake Village).
As soon as I took one picture, I was surrounded by two uniformed security guards. They told me not to take pictures.
I thought that was pretty messed up.
Below is my email sent to their PR person.

Hi, this is John Park from VenturaWeekly.com
I went to Promenade in Westlake Village to take some pictures.
My intention was all good… I only wanted people to see how nice the place was so more people will get to know Promenade.
Anyway, two security guards surrounded me and told me not to photograph the place.
So, what is the guideline on photography?
Is it so bad that I want to take some pictures of your shopping center?
Is a small pocket camera allowed?
Is a cell-phone camera allowed?
Thank you for your time.

Promenade at Westlake - it's ridiculous.

PR department replied my email.
She explained about commercial photography.
She also told me to let her know so she can issue a permission. I will try that sometime soon (hopefully this holiday season).
Thank you.
