I don't mind having my photo taken as such, but it annoys me how people are the need to document everything. If it's a special event, or holiday or whatever fine, but the rest of it is stupid.
there is a wonderful moment in a Dylan Moran stand up where he berates a woman in the audience for taking photos, something about how she doesn't need to prove she was there, as she is on fact there, and comedy is lost in a photo.

I'd never take photos at a stand up gig or a play or similar. Unless it was one I was involved in or had been asked to photograph. And actually, i don't understand people who just randomly snap at everything using their phone. But taking the time to experience what is around you and take proper, thought out, considered photographs is a joy.

When film was expensive and you only got 24/36 shots on a roll, plus the cost of developing, you thought more about whether to shoot or not. Now my camera holds 4000 or more pics at once, and you tend to shoot everything in the hope that one will be good.

he gets models in for people to learn how to take good photos, and some of the better ones just hire the model and get on with it. There is a strange mix of fat, unpleasant men that i'm almost sure are only there to get photos for their wank bank, and a couple of amazing photographers, who take some incredible shots, and not just the girls, one guy did a whole load just in the kitchen upstairs. There is a lot of skill that i'm sure i know nothing about.
