Sorry, maybe I've biased because I'm partivcularly camera shy, but I have to admit, the really fucking awful picture of me in the last slide-show that I had no idea had been taken did creep me out a bit.

It makes you wonder what other random strangers take pictures of you when you don't know and casts up creepy images of old men taking pictures up girls skirts.

Sorry if it seems like I'm jumping on the bandwagon or being horrible here, I'm not trying to be, the only reason I didn't express this before was because i know a lot of my uncomfortableness is largely due to the fact I don't like pictures being taken of me. The thought of struggling to get away from a picture and someone taking it anyway puts me off pictures completely.

Aye, totally.

The only exception is He Who Shall Not Be Named but is actually Prof did ask for it by insisting on the internet that no one would ever be able to get a picture of him inside a club. The attention-seeking prick.

Sorry, maybe I've biased because I'm particularly camera shy, but I have to admit, the really fucking awful picture of me in the last slide-show that I had no idea had been taken did creep me out a bit.

I have a camera and take nightclub shots sometimes, but I've never taken pictures of people without prior verbal consent as I know I wouldn't enjoy someone doing it to me. That's why i have my camera partly. I enjoy being behind the camera and taking pictures that people get some kind of enjoyment out of as opposed to being in the limelight

Sacktly.

I detest getting my picture taken and since this rubbish has started I have a vague uncomfortable feeling when I'm there, in case some slack-jawed prick off the internet tries to take my picture when I'm in the pisspot and wank over it later or something.

There are times I'm quite glad to be an ugly guy.

Why actually bother taking pictures of random people for creepy kicks, why not enjoy a night out instead.

How exactly does one's "phat rep" come here to die? Because Johnny Internet takes your picture and posts it here?

Has the makings of a crushed-underfoot camera situation...

I didn't clarify, but he kinda challenged me to get a picture of his face - the bet being, I wouldn't manage. And if you want, I'll update the previous slideshow to remove you from it.

Also, I do enjoy the night out as well - I just sometimes do other things. Most of the time, tbh, I don't bother with specific picture rampages all that much. The Sat. Slide. wasn't made with the intention of going on with it every week, nor would it always be for taking bad pictures - the tagline was an unrelated joke. The pictures of specific people are taken with consent.

Also, I can't really be bothered already.

Especially when 90% of folk who attend Bamboo have a reputation as a complete arsehole

it's not just about Prof, obv. fair do's if he said that

you're missing the point. it's done now and I'm not kicking up a fuss about there being a picture there of me, the point was to give you something to think about in general, not about there being a picture of me there, which you seem to have completely missed.
