I took this picture of Shaq a few years ago when I was visiting the Florida Pattons. We got tickets to the game (compliments of the Heat) and parked where the players parked so got to see a few up them up close after the game which was cool. Soon after I took this picture a security guard escorted me to an office where I could check my camera (they said it was a "professional" camera I guess because I had a telephoto lens and you can't use them in the arena unless you are press). I guess someone sitting around me ratted me out (they said if they couldn't bring their camera in then I shouldn't have been able to bring mine in). Sounds like Jr. High to me. Anyway, Shaq has been traded to the Phoenix Suns and I'm showing off my photo.

Maybe we'll see him in Arizona
It's pretty lucky that they let you keep the photo and didn't make you delete it. The same thing happened to me at a concert once and they made me get rid of the photos. The lady behind me ratted me out and was very pleased with herself after. I think she was just mad that I had better seat! Great picture, he's huge!
I took the card out of the camera as I was walking to the office and put it in my back pocket. No way were they going to get my photos!
Very clever of you, Ellen. You would get along with my sister Kate who likes to smuggle her camera into concerts to record portions of it with the video option. Just for us of course! I like to call home with my cell phone during concerts to record the songs; I still have the message of "King of Pain" from The Police concert this summer!
Very cool! You're a sneaky one.
Maybe you should come & visit me so you can take more pictures of him :)
