Comment on How to Shoot (Photographs) Like A Terrorist by J.Cormier

I seem to be late on this one, but what a great post. I have had several experiences with this. Now I just look at them and ask if they can quote my the particular law they are referring to, and they look dumbfounded and usually just leave. Once in a while they explain how they cannot recall the specifics but they KNOW it is the law, so I say well radio your dispatcher, find out which one it is and we can go from there, that just ends it most of the time, others I just keep at until they tire of my ranting and raving about my rights I have rights and I will not under any circumstances allow then to be taken from me. I have a few stories but really don’t want to do all that typing lol. The bottom line is if Photographers start backing down, not standup we all lose. It is our right, not privilege but a right and if we don’t stand up for them they will slowly be taken away, don’t let it happen.

I never saw the show but I am very aware of it. Like the Boy Scout motto, always be prepared, I wasn’t one of them either but some things just make sense. Better safe then sorry has always been my way of looking at it.

I just noticed now that I misspelled your name. Sorry about that.

Anyway, you’re right that I can’t save the world, but I’m glad I did something good.

I can’t remember who, exactly, but somebody likened me to MacGyver after I explained why I carry a flashlight, multi-tool, and other things in my bag. I told him I learned all that stuff on the net (and yes, on the show), but couldn’t come up with other people I knew who shared my ideas. I think I should point him to your comment… if I remember who said that in the first place.

Hi Luis, I have another upcoming, very big project that I’m sure you’ll be excited to shoot again. But again, it’s one of my advocacies, helping the underprivileged. I hope you can be part of it. God bless

Well for the bungee cords when I am going into the bush or doing some night shooting and not bringing photos lights I use it to hold my large 3,000,000 candle light flashlight in place, off a tree, to a pole, etc.. I have also used them when I know I am going to be caught in a rain storm and far from my truck or shelter to fasten Garbage bags securely around my knapsack, I like those portable rain ponchos but sometimes in the summer the storms really can whip up the wind and not willing to risk my gear to one, I put my knapsack into one bag, another over it and use the cords to secure them. I have even used them to make a small cover when I am out for a long day and there is no shade, I use my knife from my mini tool and open up a garbage bag and connected them to these 4 small trees I could reach and gave some time out of the direct sun. I rarely ever use my multi tool, but the 3 or 4 times I have needed it, it was worth its weight in gold. It is hard to decide what you really need and at some point you need to make hard choices or you just get weighed down.

I hear you Luis. You already did photographers a great service by bringing this up, you can’t save them all I guess…

J.Cormier:
I also carry a multi-tool with me all the time. I couldn’t quite think of specific uses for it though, so I left it out. I think one day I should revisit this list and come up with a new one.

I also have the safety pins in my bag that have proven to be very useful for wardrobe adjustments. Bungee cords are a recent addition to my kit, but I use them more with my lights than anything else. What do you use them for?

Oh, I’m glad you like the list, by the way.

Comment on Gallery: From Darkness to Light by Luis

Marc:
Like I mentioned in the post, I part of the reason I was posting such a large gallery was to see how well the WP2.5 gallery feature worked. It wasn’t the smoothest process, but it obviously worked. As for my WP version - you found out by checking the source code, right? I’m actually installing a plugin soon to hide my WP version.

Anyway, I hope you’re not paying per kilobyte charges for your data connection. If you are, I apologize.

I probably can’t take credit for the close up shots of Pilita though. I used my wide lens for most of the concert.
