Thank you !
We thought we'd lost him the other night, when he was stuck up the garden being horribly sick, but dogs being dogs it was probably something he found and ate. He was up and bouncing again next morning.
This is a very determined animal and he's had a great life of adventure and mischief

This is the kind of image I sell as stock (not the landscapes). A pawnshop next to a bookmakers might illustrate a story about, say, financial fecklessness...

I think it is a sad illustration of where our society us when the only thriving high street businesses are Bookmakers, thinly veiled loan sharks and tattoo parlours. Very sad.
Great picture though the colour contrasts work well.

There he is! There's the little guy.
I was photographing pawnbrokers and 'pay day loan' shops, when a 'community policewoman' approached me. "Some of the shopkeepers have asked me to stop you taking photographs of their premises", she said. I wondered why she was taking her orders from loan sharks, and told her that if I was doing something illegal, she should arrest me. If not, I'd be happy to carry on taking pix. I carried on...
I absolutely detest that taking pictures in public is becoming seen as something seedy and shady. I am tired of being told to stop taking pictures in public like I am a up to no good. The police are better with it, they say they know they cant do anything other than ask politely. The issue is the private security guards who bully you. It disgusts me.
I remember that run in with an idiot I had last Easter who took offence to me taking pictures of my own children and he couldn't understand why me standing there overtly with a real actual camera was not something to be worried about, that it was actually people like him taking candid clandestine shots on their phones was a worry. You can see what I am doing clearly (badly normally), not so with them. He called me a Peado which broke my heart. Still upsets me now.
I hate it. I have to be honest though, sometimes it feels good to tell them to take a hike. "on public land, I can do what I want, no I wont delete the pictures, no, dont touch me or my camera because unlike taking pictures in public, assault is illegal..."
That's hilarious. What was the response?

The one that makes me laugh is when your out with a 24-70mm with a lense hood and people assume it's a bloody great zoom, because they are used to camera phones and assume you can even see the kids in the park rather than the tree your actually shooting!

Yes, it's good to know your rights and responsibilities. I have a letter from the Metropolitan Police Force, in London, to every police force in England, stressing that, unless there are extraordinary circumstances, amateur and professional photographers should be allowed to go about their business unhindered. It's always in my pocket.
I'll respond politely to people who are polite with me... but not so well if I'm told "You can't photograph that!". My usual response: "Yes I can. Watch me". I love it when people say they'll phone the police, and get their phone out (presumably expecting me to scarper). I just stand there as they pretend to dial 999 (then they run away)...
It's horrible to be accused of taking inappropriate pix of kids. I don't mind an argument with some stupid bloke (bring it on!), but the conversation I do not want to have is with an angry mother. When kids are about, the lens cap goes on, and the camera is slung over my shoulder...
The 'hobby bobby' left me alone to carry on shooting...
