(11 May 2015, 2:52 pm)Jimmi wrote I am considering taking a break from the photography side of the hobby following some of the things that has happened to me in the last few days.
In the last few days I have had randoms coming up to me asking too much as to why I am taking photos, also had randoms come up to me to take the mick out of me and for my hobby then of course I have been labeled as a vigilante and being threatened with legal action.
Went to Darlington to take some photos this afternoon and I just didn't enjoy it as besides the fact it's Darlington Town Centre once again I have had people taking the mick so this mixed with what has happened in the last few days has just totally put me off photography right now.
I hope that even though I have made this post I will be able to bring myself to go out and get some more photos sometime this week although if not I may resume next Monday for photos around Darlington to catch some of the service changes effective from Sunday. Not sure whether to do Sunday as there won't be that much to get photos of that I know of other than the 11 becoming the 2 and 14 becoming the 3.
I will still be viewing my Flickr and as ever I will still be here on NEB.
The Vigilante comment was aimed at all of us as "Bus Spotters", not just you Jimmi and would personally not take any offence to it as that Woman is clearly clueless when it come to Photography and the Laws that go with it, and as for the Legal Action that was aimed directly at me as it was my Photo she was in, not to worry as I said in the PM I sent you, the issue is now being dealt with.
Perhaps taking a little break isnt such a bad idea, having a bit chill out and focusing on other things might be just what you need, and perhaps avoiding Darlington Town Centre if you dont feel comfortable with taking photos there, plenty of other spots you can go to in your local area though from what I have from looking at your photostream.
