Meanwhile I still feel weird taking photos of inanimate objects in public spaces in case someone thinks I'm creeping on them.
I'm like this too. Unless it's obvious I'm taking photos of my dog, I feel really weird about it. I like taking photos of random things I find interesting or pleasing to look at while we're out for walks. Like a random forgotten plushie, or a nice tree, or the lake, or a rock, or a stump. Anything really. If there's people around though, I tend to not pull my phone out because it feels invasive.
These are both stunning in completely different ways.
I think the most impressive thing about them is that they're just "point and shoot" photos with my phone. I'm not a photographer, but it's easy for me as just a regular user to take photos that are decent enough to have printed and framed. It's even more fun to see what actual photographers, who master technique and have an eye for subjects do.
Yo we have the same dog!!!
Haha! You have the slim version! My boy is a mutt, husky and akita and gods know what else, so he's built a bit heavier.
Aww he looks like mines uncle. Very cute.
I was about to say "who knows!" but this guy's neutered. He's from Ireland!
So the dog is double timing you both? 🤔
If he is, good for him. Double the love.
Of course, nothing less for the best friend
that's a good pic of that plushie
Once I came back, I saw a kid dash off with him so I think he found his way home. :)
I can't imagine living life too scared to do the things that I value. You're in public. Sack up
If I’m to go near your sack you’ll have to take me out to dinner first.
Those fucking Jellycat's mate.
I don't know what that means.
I don't worry that people will think I'm creeping on them, but I worry that they'll find out what I'm taking a picture of and either be weirded out or laugh at me. I don't know why that bothers me because I wouldn't care if it actually happened.
Anticipation is its own thing. Anticipation of travel is the main reason I never travel. I'm rarely bothered by the actual journey; I just don't want to have it hanging over me.
Even worse if you want to take a photo of a nice public space, like a historical square, or a park or something!
