Anthony Citrano was taking pictures with his Nikon on Santa Monica Pier when a security guard for Pacific Park said he would have to show ID and sign a waiver, or stop shooting photos like the one here. A long conversation ensued with supervisors who said his choice of camera made him a professional and, thus, his photos were for commercial uses. Citrano declined to sign, or to show ID, but he did stop shooting. Now he's looking for answers, as he explains.
