Starting the break with what I had been waiting for a long time to do, join the BWS(Bangalore Weekend Shoots) group for the shoot. Checked the group yesterday and realised the PV had posted a suggestion to cover 3 churches in a go. So here we were, at 0630 hours at Cubbon Park waiting for people. The count was 8. I turned up just in time. Phew... Started our exped with St. Marks' near Cubbon Park. We could into the premises and were shooting the building from outside. After sometime we could go in and there was an old man praying. He asked Abhi who we were and what we were doing at that time in the church with such big cameras. The caretaker came in sometime later and asked us to leave.
We started for St. Andrews on Cubbon road to cover that as well, with an apprehension that we would be asked to leave from that as well. Alas!!! We were not asked to leave in the first place. We could not get into the church, it was locked.
We then left for St.Patricks' on the Residency road. When we reached there, we could easily go inside as school pupils were going to the their schools and we also came in with them. The guards never stopped us. After having shot heartily for about half an hour, a clergyman came to us and asked us not to shoot further. He suggested we take a permission from the father. When we approached for the permission, we were asked to stop shooting with an analogy, "Would you be okay if I come to your home and click pictures?" We said nothing and left.
As soon as he told this, I told myself, "We have clicked what we had to. Thank you for that. Next time someone comes into your home, please ask them to leave before you give them time to finish what they have come for."
