<p>is it a family reunion ?</p>

<p>I had a horribly experience with street photography, our teacher assigned us to a certain part of town and we were told to spend 4 hrs and shoot pics.... does not matter what we shoot, as long as all the pics are somehow related.... I teamed up with another girl, we met at 8AM, and by 9 AM, we have been threatened by 4 different men, ( and at the time, we were not even shooting, just walking around with a camre ) the threats were anywhere from busting our camre up to busting our faces up... we decided to take pics of buildings, still was not good enough, we were harrassed the whole time, hindside I think, that happened because basicly we broke every rule of self defense. First of all, women alone had no busines to be on that part of town alone on the street, second walking around with a two thousand dollar equipment hanging around our neck.. asking to be robbed, third, be mindful of your surranding, don't act pre-occupied, well, we were trying to concentrate on our project... so on so on... I would just warn female photographers, use common sense, no photo worth to die over, or even to get robbed ot raped... those people were harrassing us because they knew, they can intimitate us, still not worth it !</p>

C'mon people...what is whith the judgemental attitude!! Shame on you all! She is asking for help, not your opinion on how she spends her parents money... ( and how would you know who's money she is spending ???) I thought this was a forum for artists, not stuck up jerks !

 

- Amanda, don't let this bother you, some people just have to talk down to others to make themselves feel better...( most of the time they are compensating for some of their own shortcomings ) !

I wish I could help you, I am a beginner in the field and asking for help A LOT too...Good luck to you!
