Are Photographers Crazy?

June 17, 2008

People don’t understand sometime why there is a need to take photos of other objects other than human being. Can you believe that?

I wish I couldn’t but you would be surprise to know that there are many people out there who would look at you quizzically when they see you trying to take photos of something not usually taken by most people, the kind of looks that say, “are you crazy or something?”

I don’t understand really. I’ve even had people smirking at me when they saw me trying to compose pictures of flowers at awkward angles.

I mean, what’s wrong with these people? Why, in my country at least, those who take photos of the surroundings but don’t look like tourists, are being looked upon lowly as though they are social outcasts?

What is wrong with you people? Are you normal or something?
