I was once asked if I was shooting for the local newspaper. I was using a 4x5 view camera on a large tripod at the time. Apparently, this person had just stepped out of 1920.

Years ago, before the Global Terrorism Scare, i was taking pictures of some navy ships when a man in a suit came up to me, probing me for my intentions. I put on a bit of an act, posing as a simpleton (well... that's not hard for me to do), and raved a bit about how beautiful these boats were. He then went away again.[...]
I was asked that question a lot when using the RB67, which I had to sell recently. More than one person confused it with a video camera. One local establishment even sent their security guards out to check me out, from a distance. They didn't approach me, as I wasn't on their property, but they took a photo of me with a little digicam while I was working. I guess I'm on file there now.
Did you return the favor and take a photo of them?
When someone asks me that usually I just smile and say "I'm a photography student and I'm learning." and leave it at that. If they hassle me, if I am on private property I leave, but I don't budge when it's public. Just because some event is going on and some team might be practicing is no reason to demand that someone not photograph in a public park. I'm not too sure that was even legal, cops or not.
The other day...
