Was shooting some birds during my lunch break few days ago, an elder gentleman walks by and asks with an odd expresion: What are you doing? Reply: Taking pictures of birds in flight, practicing. He didnt say a word, kept looking oddly at me, then walks away shaking his head. No idea what that was about but amused me nontheless. Some people cannot fathom why we shoot some of the things we do, to them its a waste of time..and the world goes round & round EOS 6d, 7dMKII, Tokina 11-16, Tokina 16-28, Sigma 70-200mm F/2.8, Sigma 17-50 F/2.8, Canon 24-70mm F/2.8L, Canon 70-200 F/2.8L, Mixed Speedlites and other stuff.

All my cousins thought i was weird, then some other guys did the same thing. This was before flipping screens became feature of the year lol My Gallery

I always tell them I'm shooting for a documentary, and that usually ends the conversation. If I said "TV", they would want to know what channel!
