I take anywhere from two hundred to a thousand pictures a day..... and ohhh boy have I heard some great excuses of why people wont let me capture a moment. I'm hiding from the police. I'm on the run. I will break your camera. I don't want my wife to see me with my girlfriend. Simply pretend like they don't speak English. Its against my religion. I don't have my lipstick on. And sometimes throw their hands in the shape of an X and yell at me to get out of their face.
I now am beginning to feel like I am taking something from people. Stealing. Taking their soul. Hurting them in some way. Why can I never give the passengers something... always just taking their picture.
All I'm asking is for a simple smile or simply saying no thank you... not tonight.
A smile takes less than a second. You're on vacation people... pretend like you're happy I'm only trying to do my job!!!!
Where is the love on this boat?
:( There is plenty of love waiting for you in Glenwood my friend!!!! Love ya!!!!! Ps: I'm sure if people actually knew you as a person they would never do that..... everyone is so quick to judge and be negative, its sad...
