Drunk people in the dark at a concert: “Take our picture!”
Me, with a 70-200mm mounted and zoomed to 200mm: “OK”
Drunk people: “How’s it look?”
Me, looking at a completely black/out of focus frame: “Great!”

I love when they ask for you to take their pic and then that’s it. They have no idea who I’m shooting for or where/if the pics are being used and don’t even ask 😂

My favorite Jedi mind trick to do after:
Drunk Person: gimmie your card so I a can get it.
Me: *waves hand* I already gave you my card.
Drunk Person: oh! Ok!

Then they moan about you standing in front of them for 30 seconds whilst trying to take photos of the band 🙄

I had a couple of young ladies get mad at me once because I was shooting and didn't want to stop to take their picture.

Someone threw a beer at my head and called me a cunt for not taking their pic in a pitch black festival venue with no flash and a 70-200 lens mounted while I was standing on the barrier at the sound desk, clearly busy my job😑
