I'm a photographer- not a terrorist

Have you ever been hassled on the street by misguided, brawn-not brains, jumped up, arbitrary ''this is for your own security'' types?
 Get yourself a -shirt at least...

thanks for this db.  A very interesting site.  I quite like the t-shirts .... but it would feel like almost asking for trouble :)

Hmmm

Anything with terrorist (even preceded by "I'm not a") printed on it is a bit risky.  Might be a bit like walking around with a target on your t-shirt!

Sentiment's fine though.

...actually I think the shirts are pretty effective (would be even more so if you could read the legend more easily). You don't have to wear one when you're out shooting, just wearing one whilst out and about would be cool. Probably generate a few discussions etc. May invest in one.

I'm usually not the type to wear that type of shirt... though yesterday I did crack for a cute little pinback button which feels safer for the wearer :)

What?  A badge with a grinning alien swallowing the Pentagon?   ;D
That would go down a treat!

Sorry to drag up an old thread but this made me chuckle.

It's never that good to be seen with a digital camera anyway, but if you're trying to take arty snaps of your local Israeli embassy, this is probably not the camera to use - at least not with the included accessories......

(yes I know, I don't post anything for years and when I do its digital, sorry. Hoping to find time for more film fun soon...)
