Jobsworth.

I've just returned home from shopping at our local Mall.

Although I had taken a couple of photos this morning for Blipfoto, there was something I wanted to buy from the shopping centre and I also thought that the Christmas decorations would now be on show so that it would be worth taking my camera.

I had only just got through the doors when I saw this dummy so I took a snap. As is my habit I then moved into a better position, adjusted the exposure and took what would no doubt have been a much better shot. As I took the camera from my eye I was confronted by a huge Jobsworth who informed me that I can't take photographs in the Centre. Apparently there is sign at the entrance confirming this. There then followed a friendly discussion in which I'm afraid I came off second best due to his superior intellect brawn. He asked me delete the photo and watched whilst I did so, taking his eyes off my camera when the little dustbin showed itself on the screen. Luckily he was walking away when this shot appeared on the screen.

It's not the best photo I took today but it gave me the most satisfaction.

(The Jobsworth would have a fit if he found out how many of my blips had been taken in the centre!)
