I'm just curiuos what their rational was.
If you are taking the photo for commercial reasons, you need the release; if for personal or editorial reasons, you can use a modified release saying it won't be used for commercial purposes. Now i'm trying to figure out what type of release to use - I have plenty of model releases, maybe a property release, although that is usually for real estate. It's also against the law to photograph a government building such as the Post Office!
