Photographer’s Note
Oh no ! Not another sunset/sunrise !
The ladies in pink stockings and black garters in one of my previous photos, brought back another bitter memories of my photographic, miserable experiences, about the people disrupting the photo assignment…
----------------------------------
Here is my note, posted two years ago:
Every man is allowed to have the moments of weakness in his life and this is my only excuse for taking picture of the sunrise (sunset):
That 'human element' in the picture ?
I feel really sorry for that… SHE appeared out of nowhere in the last moment, spoiling my beautiful settings of sunset (sunrise) and, out of sheer panic I pressed the button.
Thanks God, she wasn't all wet and all naked like few years before on the Daytona Beach, running towards me from the water with the obvious intentions of disrupting my sunrise (sunset) photo session. She must have been really mad at me back then, because she have repeated her routine back and forth quite a few times.
Due to inhuman TOS regulations imposed upon us by the insensitive administration, I'm not allowed to post the OTHER shots of sunrise (sunset), just to prove how difficult the life of a photographer can be.
That's why I decided to post THIS ONE...As a warning for my young and inexperienced colleagues.
" People can disrupt your best sunset (sunrise) shots.
People can spoil your best intentions of photographing buildings, traffic signs, churches, empty meadows, concrete floors, roofs and stairs.
Just don't let them do it to you, what they did to me.
-----------------------------------
One of my brilliant thoughts about the photography:
And they say: Photography is a fun … (???)
Have a most wonderful weekend, folks.
Don't forget to be cute as a butt and to smile stupidly to some strangers on the street for no reason whatsoever…

Hi George,
I don't want to be cute as a butt, I want to be butt-ugly.
Funny how she holds the thumb and forefinger of her left hand.
What other TOS breaking Sunrise/Sunsets do you have? Has nudity been banned for the twelve year olds? When I was twelve, I was already jaded by the nudie books. The kids these days.

Hi George, very nice lights and shadow. If no one there, the photo would seem simpler. She was walking towards the setting sun, make it more dazzling and dramatic. Good job and it catched my eyes.
Best regards!

Hi George,
What a great beach walking shot, we'll ignore the condition of the sky. Especially since I really called in to say that you were really a cute baby!! and so shy!!
HLJ, Pat

My gosh George! You are posting a photo of sunset/sunrise today, and me, a photo of monks! Trekearth has a very bad influence!!! HELP!! We need serious help here! :)))
But hey! There is no other photo of sunset/sunrise like this one! A wonderful grain is making it even more beautiful. And the colors are... oh! so inspiring. There is poetry here. And your note is a good counterpoint!
Well dear George, I am giving you the title "Full-fledged TE member"! ;)

This is the critique that has 'aged' not very well... It sounds awkward today...
Now, I prefer your first version (except for the halo that you corrected).
Do you think to be a "full-fledged TE member" means to have our entirely gallery being erased? Hmmmmm....
