I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.
I know all about tabloid blogging V: in an effort to give my blog a kick start I once imagined two lines about a 'nipple' or some poor abused dogs might get me more readers.
As I don't have anything to sell, tabloid blogging didn't work out as expected: 1,000 daily readers in search of nipples and 'abused dogs' only pulled in the read-and-run drive-by crowds: not very rewarding.
But in these days of 5 mega pixel camera phones some people have lost all manners: last month a Dutch woman shouted at me "step away, you're blocking my view!"
I was looking at a poster near Antwerp town hall, she apparently assumed the square was hers, just because she was holding a camera ;-)
hey i know that lady
ReplyDeleteShooting by the river in Antwerp! Three women and one man SHOT! Photos to follow!
ReplyDeleteSee, there's more than one way to do tabloid journalism.

Hey, you do, furiousball :)
ReplyDeleteThe tabloid journalism gave me a fright, I thought 'Oh no, not again' lol.
Ahhh well, holding the camera does give one certain land rights, Peter ;)
Could we see the reverse angle?

Hmmmm, v-grrrl has that, Lut. ;) What a pity, she's in transit on Friday (and I can't remember how I looked in her shot)
ReplyDeleteNote to self: confiscate all cameras belonging to others when out wandering with them lol.
Love this shot of V.
ReplyDeleteMe too, LPC. She's quite the beautiful creature and I thought this one caught a mix of the beauty and the wicked humour.
