A firetruck at McDonalds?

I recently bought myself a rather fancy looking camera. It's called a digital SLR camera and it's become my brand new best friend, sorry human best friend. It's been inspiring me to take lots of photos and look for lots of photos to take. The issue is that as soon as I take out my camera to take an interesting photo say of a cool building then immediately people start lifting their hands to their faces or look at me like I'm a creepy stalker or tell me 'oh please don't take my photo'. It makes practicing for my future life as an amateur photographer rather difficult. I mean honestly why are people so very suspicious of a photographer? Back in the olden days I'm sure painters didn't get quite so much of a bad rep.

Anyway so today I bought one of the new McFlurries from McDonalds (terrible substitute for the good old malteaser ones...) with a friend. We were then sitting outside enjoying our McFlurries (since we're far too classy to hang out inside McDonalds during the daytime, and when we're sober) when we heard a fire alarm. Everyone rushed outside of McDonalds and we began joking to ourselves about the fact that the fire alarm went off just as we walked outside. In no time at all there was quite a crowd gathering outside of McDonalds. We continued joking 'ha ha we're the arsons just hanging out outside watching the building burn to the ground'. Then the fire trucks arrived and we stopped joking... Didn't want to be incriminating ourselves. Okay now before you wonder if anyone was hurt in the fire I have to tell you that there wasn't a fire just a false alarm. The point of this little ramble is to tell y'all that I probably should've taken photos of this experience. If there had been a fire I would've been snapping away. I mean I could've sold those to TVNZ and then I'd be famous in no time but somehow it just wasn't extraordinary enough. People kind of view photos as special. In order to waste time taking a photo then it needs to be something really incredible and unusual. Otherwise you just get weird looks. Hmm, so then I'm still on the quest for an amazing unusual photo I guess.

Oh and I'll try really hard to take a postable photo tomorrow!
