I remember when I first started taken photos in 2009, I was in Park Lane one night with my mother when the Drifter Versas first appeared, she had never seen one before and she all of a sudden piped up and said 'David, that's a new bus, do you want to take a photo of it' at which point I could feel everybodies eyes looking at me, I wanted the ground to swallow me up as everybody looked to see if I was gonna whip my phone out...I didn't I just went off in a huff with my mam...
To the lads who are worried about what your mates will say if they catch you taking photos, it is your hobby, and can you really call it a hobby if your worried about what people say, in my opinion, your not enjoying it if your worried about having the piss taken out of you...I bet most of the older enthusiasts will have heard just about there is to hear, and I can say, my friends have never ripped the piss of of me, not in a way that would humiliate me or make me feel down about what I do...A real friend would not do that and anyone who takes the piss in away that belittles you is not really a friend, so take no notice of those people and enjoy what you do
