as i was riding around, taking some pictures today, i ended up in what i guess would be "the bad part of town".. just as i was shooting some pictures of a sparrow, this "gang" of shirtless white guys emerged from the house on the corner and started to surround me.. they asked me what i was taking pictures of, but apparently "birds" wasn't the right answer.. they seemed to think i was trying to take pictures of whatever illegal activities they were engaging in today, and the plan was to "smash my fucking camera"... whoops. i took off as fast as i could, but one of them jumped in his bmw and chased me down. i ended up weaving around the parking lot of some place trying to avoid getting run over by this guy.. after a few narrow misses, lots of engine revving and squealing tires, i eventually i made my escape though an adjacent field of powerline pylons.. (unfortunately, i didn't actually manage to get a picture of the perps.. i was kinda busy pedaling for my life) |

perfect summation.. especially the photos - i'm barely ever impressed with photos i see on the web, but these (especially the first ugly industrial ones) are really amazing. keep up the good work risking your life for our entertainment! |

very scary! I'm glad you're ok. one of my friend's close buddies in college was murdered in charlote nc a month ago. very wierd. just jumped for what seemed like a robbery. he fought a few of them, then when more came he ran and was shot in the back. he made it back to his appartment but died on the floor. sucky. |

something similar happened to me, my friend was screaming at this truck full of guys (why i dont know!) so one of them punched my friend in the teeth (he's got two false front teeth now) and then they got back in their truck and tried to run the rest of us over, i leaped into some bushes. jumped right over a wide ditch to do so, heres to adreneline! scary stuff.. |

Sounds like Canada's a pretty dangerous place :/ Loads of violence. From those photos it also looks like it's full of Soviet-style apartment blocks. In fact, all in all, it sounds a lot like Lithuania :) |

Wow man, I thought you were kidding by describing a scene of GTA San Andreas :$ I'm glad you're able to tell this story. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Violence is everywhere :( But I would say Canada is safer than most countries, all depends what part of town you're in. |

michael moore lied to us! i guess there's 'tough' youth everywhere i wanted to point out going to the police is an option because doing potentially killing stuff isnt cool. probably you can just make a statement and dont have to indentify them if you dont want to, so they'll have evidence on them the next time they do something bad |
||||||||

no way.. thats bad. a lesson i suppose to be careful taking snaps. photography can get you into all sorts of bother. thanks for the story, nice work too. you should consider a devart account (if u aint already) to share your best works and get critique from other photographers, its quite helpful and there are tons of inspiring shots on there to, whatever your into.. e.g. the - you can sort by whatever. |

"So.... ya like a little clickity click eh? We'll show you who processes the negative around here.... lets roll" Fast forward 20 years. "I've come to apply for the gizmopping job, sir" "Don't i know you from somewhere?" |

Call the cops.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, "Cops" I don't know how things are in other countries/cities, but calling the cops here is like calling the ice-cream man. |
||||||||
|
|

You didn't have to make up that bullshit story for us to look at your pics. We all know there aren't any white guys in Canada. |
||||||||
|

boy you could seel that powerline photo for a CD cover to a pro music maker. that would be a sweet album cover! |

as long as you're white, you can reach for your wallet in comfort and safety. the cops in my town looooooove giving speeding tickets. it's a big business. my friend got three last year - one while he was going one mile over the limit downhill and the cop was like, "yeah, i know you weren't really speeding... you can take it to court." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got a ticket for going 30 over the limit. limit was 55 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was all fun though, haha |
