Anything Goes

Ever happen to you wherein you have a very good spot to take pictures when suddenly someone else moves in front of you and overtakes your place? One experience for me happened yesterday. I was taking pictures of a fashion show where my girlfriend was in. Right when the show started, my hands were in trigger-happy mode. I actually didn’t stand near the aisle as there was a videocamera shooting as well. I did not want to be in the way so I was standing a bit behind on the line. Suddenly, some jackass kid who was like probably 11 years old brushed me aside and stood in front of me, raising his hands and started taking pictures with his cellphone camera. That took me by surprise. By then, I couldn’t get a whole body shot of any models because he keeps raising his hand up when he took pictures. I was sooo tempted to hit this kid’s head at the back. I said to myself, I’ve got more manners than this kid when I was at his age. I just had to restrain myself else I would become the bad guy instead. This kid totally had no manners. Pity his guardian(s) who didn’t bother to do anything and let their child do what he did. I’m pretty sure his guardian(s) were nearby. I had an abudance of pics where his hand got included in the shots. And it’s not an excuse that he’s around 11 years old. He should be able to to know what are good manners and bad manners, unless he’s an idiot.
