- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
so this is the first time i'v been arsed to do a topic discussion, but this happened to me the other day and i'm finding it quite amusing.
Ok, so im out taking photos right, in a real nice area where i live... and this guy comes up to me, about 60 yo, and starts some small talk, like 'beautiful day for pictures, what great light you've got today', so we chat a bit and i can tell he know some stuff about photog. Then he drops the bombshell, saying that he has worked for the bbc for the last 30 odd years, and still does make tv ads for them, adding that he'd just got back from shooting in oz etc. So i tell him im a graphic deisgner, and he asks me for my card, which i give him.
About two days later he's on the phone asking to meet me to see my work and chat, but he wants me to come to 'his house' to talk.
So this is where i start to think.... is this guy real or is he some mad old pervert (btw i am 29....but i have boyish looks... and unfortunatly have been hit on by gay men aswell as women)..... all my work friends are saying, dont go down there he sounds like a nutter.... Then he phones up again and says 'why dont we make it the evening and we can go out for beers'....this concerns me greatly!...... but in the end i think **** it, i'll just go along tooled up just in case, i mean the guy could be genuine right!
So i go to his house and imeadiatly find that yea, he is rich.... big place, lots of expensive paintings etc.... but NO SIGN of a picture of a wife or family. My thoughts then drifted to 'withnail and i' (if you havent seen it.... it basically involves a rich english fellow trying to seduce a guy.... in a dark but funny way!) and i started getting a bit twitchy, like i wanted to do a runner or summin.
To cut a long story short.... he looked at my work, didnt have too much to say...... but did mention sometimes needing a photog when he does these adverts abroad..... said he was going all around europe next week. Then as i get up to leave he says..... 'do you want to meet up again before i go.... we can have a few drinks on my boat'..... thats when i start going 'ermm...err... maybe i'll let you know'.... so he says 'the balls in your court just call me if you wanna meet up'...
So what the hell do i do?????...... if he's harmless and simply likes company, he could set me up with amazing career possibilities?!... but if he's gonna end up putting his hand on my knee or summin, i'd go mad!!.... would you meet him again... or run a mile??? opinions wanted please!
