I took a shot of a lady collecting cans. She took a bag with garbage on the street and threw it at me. It didn't even come close. Shot was not good anyway.

Hey, it could be worse. He could ask money, and if you didn't give to him, he could call his lawyer from his cell. LOL

| I had a guy giving me a hard time last week at a xmas parade, I was using a mono pod, He asked me why I was using the monopod. I explained to him because it was dark out I needed a steady hand. Then he asked me why I was using the view finder. He then pulled what looked like a Fujifilm FinePix 3800 and proceeded to show my how easy it was to hold his hand up over his head and take a picture using the monitor. lol I told him my cheap ass camera doesnt do that groovy point and shoot stuff. |

shooting some portraits with an 85mm lens on my camera. A friend wanted to take a couple as well. They fired off a few then started twisting the lens. Looked confused. Looked at me, back at the camera. Said 'where's the zoom ?'
I just pointed to my feet. They handed the camera back and looked kinda disappointed.

Sure cameras look impressive and people ask dumb questions. I'm a carpenter, or one of my alter-egos is. There's absolutely no mileage in getting precious about work I do. My professional pride is mine. I never lend tools (ok maybe to a fellow carpenter etc) because anyone who knows how to use them has their own and I need to know how they are and where they are at any given time. The importance of what passers-by have to say about the work? Go figure.
On the other hand, though, I think I've experienced the odd occasion where my wearing a camera has made people think I - er - know something.
 Shortly after taking this picture of a door in Florence I was walking past another - all of 3 or 4 meters high and 6 inches thick without any small doorway to make it easier to get in and out - when a normal-sized woman opens the huge door and comes out to take her dog for a walk. I sling out a remark about how that looks like heavy work, in my utterly piss-poor Italian, and she starts talking to me so that I have to cross the road to get a better idea what she's saying. She takes me in the great big door and explains how this building and all the buildings around the block were the home of Macchiavelli and she shows me his coat of arms on the wall and the insignia of Brunelleschi the architect, as weell as affording me an opportunity to see how this massive portal opens and closes just as easily as my own front door - and fits better too. I guess I'll never make the paparazzi, because I didn't want to inconvenience her any more by fitting flash guns and snapping around the entrance hall. Obviously she was bursting with pride about the history of her little (ok, beautiful, huge, renaissance) appartment building and just enjoyed talking about it. Point being, take the rough with the smooth, it cuts both ways.
Also, remember the stupid think they are going to inherit the earth, only because they are too dumb to see they already did.

What NEVER to say to a a photographer:
"That's a fantastic picture, darling, you should enter it at DPC"

Additionally, I once actually heard someone walking past as I set up the camera on a tripod "Don't he know it's 2006?"

I used to get that, or something similar, all the time when I was working in public with my large format view camera; "They DO make smaller cameras now, you know?"

This from my mother, no less:
"In my day, we couldn't fix our photos with that fancy software you have. (fancy, ha! I've got 3.0 Elements!) We actually had to take our photos right the first time." |
