sweet private club I wish they were accepting new members

Almost got beat up for this one by a diminutive man with a non-threatening accent.  You can see a few figures center left-- they weren't keen on having their picture taken.  I'm relatively up on my legal rights as a photographer.  In public, you can take a picture of whatever you want.  They said it was a private club.  To which I said, sorry for the problems dudes and booked it off in the other direction.  Nice tonal ranges out the wazzou on this one though, right?  I need to find a wet dark room in these parts.
