Description
To clarify : when out with my camera shooting (mostly in the small town that I live in), I often get the weird looks from passers-by when I take out my camera. Expressions like "What the..." are not uncommon. You know...I sometimes thought of making this into a t-shirt so that it would meet the eye. But I thought, heck I'll make it into a stamp at least. Perhaps someone can identify with this as well. Cheers!
This is basically just a concept, might improve this later.
EDIT: You can find a t-shirt of this here [link]

This is so true! I always have my point and shoot on me to catch moments, but I get the weirdest looks when I use it at random. One time I spent ten minutes under a flag pole trying to get the best angle for the shot I wanted and waiting for the wind to blow the flags in the right direction. When I was done I looked around and a bunch of people were just staring at me like I was the craziest person around. Gah.

I can identafy. But I do get a little crazy with my camera. (sometimes.

Oh; I can definitely indentify with this. Sometimes I feel too awkward to fully enjoy what I am doing because everyone is staring. I would have bought the shirt if I actually had the money to spare.
*faves stamp instead*

Ah man, I remember how comfortable doing street in Finland, Russia, Hungary and Sweden. I was entirely alienated, unable to speak the language and in a big city.
Now, even though there are no second looks, I can feel them and I'm completely unable to take street photos. Damn you, Small-Town New Zealand
I'm not crazy. I just have a heightened perception as to what COULD be
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Great idea. I know that feeling when people look at you this strange way. Even my mum doesn't understand how I can take photos of clouds, buildings etc.
But I'm crazy because of other reasons, so I must live with that

I feel you... I get called called "idiot" "loco" "crazy" "insane"
and the looks I get are annoying
