I did a shoot today with my friend Jo. She wore a Gerri Halliwell style Union Jack dress. A very pretty girl with an amazing figure.
Anyway, I knew I wanted Jo to stand at the top of a hill so I would have to shoot upwards. So we went to the local meadows where I knew there was a spot where I could get the shot I wanted.
Now to get this into context - this is a HUGE place with many many acres of grass and lakes. Room for everyone. Or so you would think.
First off - this total c*** comes along on his ******* Segway thing. In tow, three of his trainees. It turns out he asked Jo if she wanted to pose with the trainees while he took a shot with his compact. Jo obviously declined as we were in the middle of out shoot. So anyway the **** decides to get his three disciples to park their stupid Segways behind and to the side of where Jo was positioned (with lights and reflectors correctly placed too). Basically - in shot
I asked him if he could move along a bit (bear in mind we have acres of room). A grumble and reluctance ensued.
Me "well there is plenty of room here"
Him "I don't care I pay for the right to teach here"
Me - "And that entitles you to stand in the way of my picture does it?"
Him "Well I'm paying - I bet you're not"
Me "I pay my taxes like anyone else - and this is a public place"
Him "well you should pay to shoot here"
Me "fine - go and tell the powers that be. Besides, if you're charging people to come here to be taught I doubt you need to be talking to people like you are me. Not really good for business is it?"
And with that he segwayed off with the three stooges in tow.
AND THEN
Some total muppet who looked far old enough to know better cycles between me and Jo on his mountain bike, pulling a wheelie, with his ipod plugged in!! You couldn't make this up. He seemed to be on his own so it wasn't as if he was "impressing his mates" either.
What is going on in the world that people want to interfere and generally spoil others' fun. The whole thing spoilt the shoot and we finished soon after.
I'm totally disillusioned
Anyway - here's one of the pictures (which is **** anyway but at least you can see what I was trying to do)…..
