hello all,
i was working at the ndp preview yesterday, was some unpleasant things and here to ramble about it. u can choose to ignore or bitch abt it or add watever u feel but as said, is rambling...
i know it's a habit for all photographers to get totally excited and go on shooting watever they want to. even when they are done, they would hang around and chit chat watever they have just shot, comparing the angles etc etc. i am guilty of that and i think everyone is.
but...
do bear in mind that behind you there are tons of people who are interested in watching the show. dun just assume that by crouching down or sitting at the staircase that you are not blocking anyone's view. yes u have paid ur dues in coming to the show and u deserve the best view. but others have also paid their dues... including the small kids and elderly who have to make a big effort to avoid seeing ur behind just to see the show.
if u wanna do ur quick shots, do it and get out of the way or back to your seat. and not stare at the old man who ask u to siam or pretend to crouch down and hide.
and pro-photographers, i know u are paid to do a job... but dun argue with the damm authorities when they ask u to move away. u are equally guilty of blocking everyone's view. i know u have to fulfill your duties but i believe there are other ways to do so. u dun have to argue with the man in blue nor the crowd that you are the official videographer/photographer and that u have to do your job just because it's the best angle. in all respect, i believe you were told not to impede the crowd nor the authorities. and dun smirk when u can't get your way.
well, tis is just some aimless ramblings from a pissed and tired guy from last nite. mods can delete it, ppl can flame me etc etc. i just hope everyone here thinks about the people enjoying the event behind you when u shoot the next time.
cause i did.
