"People interested in me"

I have an odd entry in my "People interested in me"...

G SS (updated 1895-05-24).

 

Not affecting me, just wondering what the blazes it is?

 

Thanks,

Ellen

I, as well.

A member of the www.photo.net community since October 22, 2004.

yeah, and no additional details (ie ratings, photos, comments)

Did you notice those folks have only a letter as their last name as well?

Mee too.. I thought it was just a script or admin thing in there by mistake, as the entry is so minimalist, but the request for an address returns an external e-mail, However I can think of no reason to start a corespondence other than idly curiosity. Cheers Ian

I have that name included on my list of people interested in me as well, and with that date....and there are others on my list with that date as well. They are always initials, no names. I pointed this out to moderators once before, they suggested it was an anomaly. Looks like it's becoming less of an anomaly, huh?

No such person is interested in me. I suppose that either makes me your prime suspect, or

that just proves I'm boring.

yes well, it looks like you're either "in" or "out" lol

 

I wonder how many members there are of the GSS club?

I guess I'm in too. lol No hurm done, but stiull would love to know why? :|

I have a David Pehrson with no photos posted, who just joined, but Dave has critiqued photos and has a normal date. No GSS. <br><br>If anyone is bothered by me having them on my interesting persons list, just ask and I will remove.<br><br>There are some strange things on photonet - kind of like a box of chocolates: ya never know what you're gonna get . . . After all, <i>I</i> listed <i>Thomas Turk</i> as interesting. I find his comments highly amusing, and <i>occasionally</i> photographically valid. Moreover, peoples' reactions to his commentary are often priceless (See Joe Russo's portfolio) :)<br><br>-s

I guess I'm in the G SS club as well, although I presume this person is extremely old since

the date of their interest predates computers by more than seventy years.

I've been G SS'ed also - must have been for my charm. :-)

Me too, but I also has Bob S and Rita S�derlund with the same update.

G Ss Here too... Mine is listed as a date of 1895 or some such.. the interesting thing is that it changes from 5-27 to 5-25, etc from time to time.

Well it looks like I'm in the G SS club too, same 1895 date.

This is my second attempt to enter this comment. I hope it doesn't double.<br><br>

 

Regarding Mr. Pehrson's date, I was looking at the wrong line, his is 1895-05-27 or something like that. A very old man, I guess. ??? <br><br>

 

Now, IF I were to play devil's advocate and think in a paranoid fashion, I would wonder if we are under some not-so-covert surveillance . ..I'm only half-kidding here.<br><br>

 

Have any of you been stopped or questioned while photographing in public? Has anyone stopped and taken your license plate number down while you were out photographing? <br><br>

 

I have had all those things happen, and in this, I am serious. I was questioned by: 1.)The police, for photographing scenic buildings in the city; 2.)A redneck for photographing an abandoned one-room schoolhouse from a public highway; 3.)An off-duty power company employee for photographing trees near a power line right of way from the side of a public highway; 4.)An unknown person pulled up and wrote my tag number down when I returned to my vehicle from photographing the moon over water from a public walkway on a public bridge, then he took off; None of these were confrontational encounters, but they made me very uncomfortable. I'm not making these up. <br><br>

 

If you want some interesting reading, go to www.photopermit.org and read the news articles, but especially the forums. Also www.freedomtophotograph.com (I might have that last url wrong). <br><br>

 

Food for thought.<br><br>

Steve, you never mentioned if you were in the G SS club. I am. I just thought it was Photo.Net version of an undercover Sky Marshall. So y'all better watch your step!

Stephen,

 

I was stopped this week on a college campus which will not be named by a security officer who apparently had been summoned to check out my suspicious behaviors ( I was photographing a particularly beautiful beech tree ) Especially since the terrorist attacks, everyone is paranoid, but people have always been suspicious of photographers, and often are worried that we may be taking pictures that will be used in legal proceedings against them.

It's getting a little crazy really. We can't take shots in the underground train loop (on the platforms) cos They fear that we're conducting some sort of surveilance.

 

Ok, so who want to head the GSS club? lol

I've got:David MacKay (updated 1895-05-28), Mark Ouellette (updated 1895-05-28), and Karl Sacksteder (updated 1895-05-28). Very strange indeed. But, I don't have the interest of C SS.

WOW Lisa, u are popular! lol I'm sure, one day, you too will catch the eye of GSS too! ;p

Two articles in New York Institute of Photography articles:<br><br>

I was thinking of getting a T-Shirt or sweatshirt made with "PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOT A CRIME" in big red letters on the back.

 

To answer the above question, no, I don't have G SS in my workspace. <br><br>-s

GSS is the only person interested in me :-(

I have a "Taylor Brady" from 6/1/1895. Does he count? (Not very well, obviously...)

I guess not les, or maybe just as much as my David King (1895-06-03)which apeared just today on my "peoples interested in you" list. Fortunatly i'm in G SS list which makes me feel a lot better LOL...
