[removed account4]

there are lots of things about photography that frighten me ..

[Sirius Glass]

Digital forcing out analog.

Meaningless APUG threads.

The return of the dreaded Two Letter Troll especially under a new name.

What about photography frightens me?
Selfies...

[cliveh]

Ken Rockwell.

I read a report in the paper yesterday of a young woman who was doing a selfie of herself holding a gun to her head who shot herself.

[Hilo]

[bsdunek]

Nothing!

Selfies

+1 and stupid gestures in front of paintings and sight seeing objects.

Being walked into by stupid digi-snappers looking at their selfies and reading their text messages. Do these people ever engage their brains?!?

Ken Rockwell.

I like Ken! I've never understood the hate towards him, and I hate everything, haha.

 

[wy2l]

I am still confused by the Circle of Confusion.

 

[chip j]

The cost of materials. +1 for Ken!

 

[kb3lms]

Nothing really.

At least Ken uses film some of the time, so +1 for me, too.

 

[bobwysiwyg]

Selfies ad nauseam.

 

[gone]

Just the cost.

Never figuring out what it is that I could say/do with it. Part of the whole "what's my purpose in life" thing.

Though my first inclinition (sp?) was to say "just vampires, mummies, and the holy ghost. These are the things that terrify me the most. Not aliens, psychopaths or MTV hosts. Just vampires, mummies, and the holy ghost."

Having a big gust of wind blow my view-camera over when I'm not looking. Happened once.

Being shot at by a land owner. Once when living in Spain had one warning shot over my head.

Dropping my favorite lens on a hard surface. I'll take the fifth on that one.

When verifying the aperture setting on the lens, completely forgetting that you are positioned at the edge of a very tall cliff. Brain fart. Drrrrr.

Getting between a herd of longhorn cattle and their favorite watering hole. It makes you run fast.

Basically I'm just a scaredy-cat.

thanks bethe ...

although a friend who knew downtown julie brown said she was as nice as you can imagine
i know what you mean though, i've decided there is no purpose to live but what you want to do, and as long as you are ok with that, its good enough --

A solid, rational fear...

The dreaded Kodachrome has been deleted thread

 

[Vonder]

Forgetting or deciding not to take a camera, and then meeting the Loch Ness monster, bigfoot, and Jackie Onassis all posing together in the woods. Camera jams I can sigh, and deal with.
