Aggression towards photographers
A nice collector car in the street, waiting to be loaded in a truck, a good opportunity to make an image ... And now I am being attacked by the driver because I shoote his vehicle! if he had kindly pointed out that it bothers him, I understand very well, no need to be so mean to photographers, would he have the same behavior if I shot with a smartphone? Unless I am mistaken, no law prohibits photographing objects on public roads. Did you also have adventures of this kind ??
Shawn Many years ago a lady in a flea market had choice words for me when I started photographing her table of merchandise. I was hurt and offended. Once I reassured her that I wasn't going to profit from it, and that I was doing it for fun as a hobby, she was ok with it. It was about money for her. I think people can be suspicious and a little paranoid about a photographer's motives. They may feel targeted or singled out. But I agree, no need to be mean about it.
