I Hate People...........

Down at the Centre this morning I could not believe the car park was This Quiet.
I thought it might mean a quick dash through the shops was on the cards.

No chance.

Fighting my way through the hoards of pond life, I cast my eyes upwards in exasperation and thought .........It would take a bloody big Christmas tree to do that justice.
And nearly got trampled because I had been stupid enough to actually stop.

We nipped into a certain low grade eating establishment and once again I was forced into a rant over over the Lazy Beggers who have the inability to put there rubbish in the bin that they have to walk past on the way out.

And don't start me on photographic judges ......................

Our club had a competition with one of the top 5 clubs in Scotland (whose pictures were virtually all photographic art (very highly photoshopped and manipulated) rather than photographs.
The judge personally knows some members of the club and certainly knows their work.
By image 2 I knew we were beaten and it was a case of "Club X is a op club so their work must be better and I had better mark acordingly".
We had images that he said were faultless - could find nothing to say against them ........ and then deduct 5 marks whereas Club X would have several faults and be awarded full marks.

I was asked if I would give the vote of thanks
I politely declined ......... well fairly politely anyway.
I am not that diplomatic !!!

My night was topped off with a quick shoot to get a picture for the clubs Christmas dinner on Friday..............that reaffirmed my faith in human nature.
