Photography and People

Sometimes people don’t care to be photographed. Funny how it only happens when I’m using my big Nikon though. He’s probably unaware there are video cameras watching him more closely than I was. Actually I was just going for a shot of the train and bike by itself sitting there.

First off I don’t photograph to make people look bad intentionally. Or even by accident like this but I do run into this more with the conventional camera because its so obvious. For all he knows I could be zoomed in on the banner, light and bell at the top of the train front.

Maybe he was just having a bad day that the scowl wasn’t for me. Whatever it was I hope the bike ride cured it.

I’m going to try my hand at shooting more people and hopefully not piss anyone off. Guess I’ll use that sneaky cell phone.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • Workroom is the cleanest its been in a few decades. I’m pretty dirty though.
  • Back to listening more and talking less.
  • Trying a new merchant. Fingers crossed.
  • Spending the day learning and the night shooting.
