  <body>Dear All, 

I work in Asia but an illness in the 
family has meant that I have been 
shooting in the US more recently.  

In Asia, the issue of access is 
basically if the police don't stop 
you, you have access.  If they do, 
you apologize and move on.   

In the litigious US society, I 
thought I might seek advice.

If one were to enter a church or 
casino (interesting combination) 
and photograph without being challenged
by security, etc., surrounding by tourists
snapping away, and then publish an image, could there be legal jeopardy in doing so?  Could one be sued by the casino or church?

These are not quite public domain
(or are they?).  They are privately
owned venues of free public access.

Any and all opinions on this matter
would be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Best,

James Whitlow Delano.
