Thanks. I had a very enjoyable and quite interesting day. When I saw all the police I thought there was a demo in Parliament Square, which is illegal now. So I thought I'd join in - I wouldn't care what the demo was about, within reason, I'd do it just to say F you to the government for making demos in Parliament Sq. illegal. But the New Zealanders were a very good-natured bunch just having a good time.
But I must have been in a bolshie mood today. In Covent Garden I started to photograph something, not even a person, and was about to decide not to because it was a crap photo, when somebody very aggressively told me not to take photos. So I said it was a public place and I was entitled to photograph anything I wanted, which I proceeded to do rather than be intimidated. Of course it turned into a shouting match. This bloke seemed to think that if he asked me not to take a picture I was legally obliged not to! I offered him the opportunity to sue me. It all ended up with me telling him to F off and a couple of times I could see he was ready to hit me, but he could see I was perfectly prepared to hit back, so it didn't come to that. I'd made my point, so I walked off, feeling rather heroic for standing up for my rights. -- Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Godfrey DiGiorgi > Sent: 03 February 2007 22:39 > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: Re: Waitangi Angels > > Another fine set o photos, Bob. > > The Olympus lenses are excellent.
