[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 32148, member: 1061"] On a more serious note: I get asked [B]a lot[/B] of questions when I'm out shooting for the newspaper. It's almost a guarantee that at least one person is going to approach me and ask about the camera or have some sort of photography question. I think there really is a difference in people's mindset when they see a media pass hanging around your neck. They immediately associate the larger camera w/ working for the press and a need for higher quality photos, so they don't throw out crazy questions or off-handed comments. It's usually like that where you're shooting anyplace where people normally expect to see photographers, like weddings. And I agree with Helene. I like to poke fun at the ones who ask the really stupid questions, but as for the "it must be the camera" comments...you just have to smile and nod. [/QUOTE]
