OMG ... lol ... that would have been me. I know just what you mean!
"Once I realized that he was not going to yell at me and confiscate my camera like a bully and make me cry"
That's priceless ... LOL
Way to play it off. LOL
lol! hope you are out of the shock now
When you learn, I'm open to instructions. That way I don't have to admit to anyone (in person) that I haven't a clue about photo-shop.
well, in my defense, every other photo on my blog is real. (well, the signs, at least.) Maybe I should take that one off.
That is hilarious. In my line of work (reporting for a small town paper) I will stop to snap a photo of something like that and hope the whole time no one comes to confront me on it. I'm such a chicken. I want the photo but then...I don't want to get beat up for it. Is laughter really worth that?
OK. Maybe sometimes.
lmao! I know exactly how you feel as I am the same way. I don't suppose you told him that you were posting this on your blog? *snickers*
oh not me honey! i would have gotten right in his face and said "just taking a picture of this funny sign with the car parked on the sidewalk. some idiot must not be able to read". then: he would never admit HE was the stupid one, so he would have said something like "yeah, stupid jerk"...
smiles bee
xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I do the slick “Oh, I’m looking at my text/emails” then snap the picture and run. I haven’t been caught yet but when the day comes I should have a story ready…
You're too funny. I probably would have been nervous too.
In regards to my own blog, I pretty much take pictures of my dogs and nothing else and they don't seem to be too upset by it. Although, once I did take a picture of Ralph and when the flash went off, he fell over, as if he died.
Should have told him you were a paparazza and you thought it was George Clooney's car, and then ask if he was Mr. Clooney.
Since I'm a person who will put a post-it note on someone's window that says "You parked like a selfish ass"...taking pictures...not such a big deal.
I'm not sure how I lived without Photoshop and I'm certain I would gasp my last breath if someone took my camera away. I'm in love with Oscar and Oscar loves me too
Nice save though.
I've been a photo freak my whole life so yes, I always have a camera with me and click away all the time. However, on a recent post about hiking crystal cove I did nearly kill myself and Briefcase by trying to take the Newport Coast sign pic WHILE DRIVING. Because you see, I have only one working arm and how can I drive with it and take a photo with it at the same time? Hmmm! That maybe should have been a blog post all onto itself!
I felt my stomach tighten just reading it! How can I be a 50 year old, in every other way confident and competent woman who can revert in a moment to a quivering 7 year old who is certain she has done something very wrong and is about to get in big trouble for it?? My parents were actually pretty nice to me. Dunno...
As usual, love your style!
I keep thinking I need to start carrying a camera around with me, but maybe on second thought...
If you photoshopped then you'd have no adventures to blog about. I suggest wearing a lanyard around your neck to look somewhat official and just keep clicking away.
There are definately less stressful ways of getting photos! Whenever I carry my camera around I don't use it - the minute I leave it at home - I need it!!
Learning photoshop is a fraction easier than skydiving ..

I'm a little shaky just reading this. 
I lived in France briefly, during my serious portrait photographer period, and once was taking a [truly amazing] picture of a rainy street, all but abandoned on a Sunday morning except for an older French man with a perfect black umbrella. Of course, the man confronted me as to why I was taking his picture. I wasn't fluent enough to get his tone, but I did understand the words, so I didn't know if he was being kind or mad. I took the embarrassing American out and assured him I didn't understand a word of French. It was all v. unsettling.
That is great!! You have got some serious postitive karma on your side.
I tried to take a picture of dude at the gas station with 8 inches of butt crack, and he turned around and busted me.
I told him he looked like my Uncle...he didn't believe it. Perhaps he didn't beat me up because his gas was 4.09 a gallon and he was too flustered from that.
But see....I woulda bought the damned car! YOu're a therapy session or two ahead of me I think ~lee
I have felt better about random photo shooting after I read about what is legal. (If it is in public and it doesn't say you can't it is basically legal.) BUT...there is still something in my neighborhood that makes me giggle every time I pass but I am too scared to picture and post it for irrate neighbor situations...
I totally would've had a heart attack if I were caught doing that! Hilarious! Good thing he was selling his car and giving you an out. Hope he doesn't come across your blog while surfing the web. ha ha!
