I've photographed all sorts of things for the council up here and never ever been hassled, most time I do work Im wearing some kind of lanyard with ID on it to show people I'm legit.

but other times ive been taking photos and noones ever given a shit, I presume this is because Im only 20 and look about 18 19 when im clean shaven minus my sideys.

People musn't be affraid of young people.

...or females :D The only time I felt as though I was being checked out was when I was outside the Opera House on the western side trying to get a good reflection from the windows of the Benelong. I was huddled in the corner and almost laying down on the ground (what we go through to get a good angle :D ) I was suddenly made aware of a helicopter hovering above me! It stayed for a minute or so and then realised I was just another tourist!

If only they made one for the bigger photographers...


I prefer my "this area is under video and audio surveillance" shirt, but I think I might print my own "I'm not a tourist I'm a phatographer" for when I'm hanging around with you mob. FWIW, it took me ~2 years to sell the single 6XL Critical Mass t shirt I printed, but the guy that bought it was utterly thrilled.

Got followed around the Opera House by a nice lady in a big yellow "SECURITY" raincoat after work yesterday. Gosh but wasn't the light nice, and me with my camera at home. I saw some nice possies for next time so not all is lost.

Why should we need the T shirt with that slogan? nothing can help with it? It's just for fun and specially in winter you'll have your jacket or coat over it!
Even if you have it on, people still send in the report if you're doing some thing with they think you're suspicious.
It's useless and nonsense to me!
