And since then I am looking for him, to say hello at least and see how is he doing.

Once you are on the property they can tell anyone to stop. There are placards on the sidewalk that clearly mark where the property ends and the guards will clearly tell you that you are free to photograph the buildings from there. You CAN take photographs if you get permission from the property managers, ask them nicely and in writting.

I was shooting a stock photo of a friend at a public not-for-profit hostpital parking deck last night. A security guard came over and rather nastily demanded that I delete the photos and that photography on private property is not allowed. He said he would have the model and I arrested if we were to come back into the parking deck. I didn't see any posted hours signs (it was 8 p.m.) I feel that I am in the right to take photos. Isn't it implied that a parking deck has an easement for public use? I had an issue last night in my hometown of Peoria.
