YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE

DSC_0018I was awandering through a nearby ‘city’ and saw a group of young people just chilling out and I asked If I might take some photos.  Most agreed, some (like this lady) tried to hide and others put their hoods over their heads (or rather one bloke did).  I also got lectured by a young woman, not of the group(s), and asked why I was photographing them and that I should ask their permission and also that I should explain the what and the why to them.  Which I had.  Now I am all for respecting privacy and understand that the internet is a nasty place at times but so is the real world.  I know she was trying to ensure their safety but God she was pompous.

Anyway took a few and will be posting these quite quickly as some of those pictured took the website address.

Thank you to all of you who participated.

 

DON’T YOU SEE ME?

DON'T YOU SEE ME?

The gentleman in the straw hat was trying to make conversation with anyone who wouid listen to him. Unfortunately he was viewed with suspicion although nothing he said gave any indication that he was someone to be afraid of. It was because he was a little ‘different’ although aren’t we all? I find our attitude to those in society who have an outlook that does not match our own very upsetting.
