The Walmart Syndrome
What has the following story got to do with today’s series of photographs? Very little. But here’s my story.
“Sorry but you can’t take pictures here!â€
“Why not?â€
“Because your cameras are too big and you have tripods.â€
“So what??â€
“That means you’re professionals. And you need a permit for taking pictures here.
“What about these hundreds of other people taking pictures??â€
“They have small cameras.â€
And you, my friend, are a fucking retard. What if I, with my professionally large camera, pull a point-and-shoot from my pocket? Does that make me less of a professional? Am I then allowed to snap away?
The moral? Fuck them. Some people are too mentally challenged to realize that taking a picture is the same, whether you’re using a big SLR or a tiny P&S. Or, for that matter, using a tripod.
