I am most likely (Cam and Look)
The Press Photog On Assignment

Props: Scruffy clothes, unkempt appearance, three-day stubble (for men), bleary and bored look. Big camera bag. Keep your lunch in it if you don't have enough equipment.

Location: Anywhere on the globe.

Camera: Biggest, blackest, most expensive you can get your hands on. You're not supposed to own it.

Mannerisms: Look bored, sling around your expensive gear very casually as if it doesn't belong to you, shoot at least five-ten pictures a time.

Advantages: People will stay out of their way, if they don't want their face in the press.

Disadvantages: People will elbow themselves in front of you, if they want their face in the press.

Those would be "The Dumb Tourists", wouldn't they ? :lol:

Yes, I see "The Dumb Tourist" in there someplace (all the way in the back with that silly little camera...can you imagine? :confused: ) but wait . There are others. For sure, I see the "Hero Photojournalist" and the "Press Photog on Assignment". And I also see "The Artist Pursuing Inspiration". The fact that he doesn't have a photo vest is a dead give-away to that fact. :mrgreen: :lol:
