This is my very first post on this forum, constructive criticism is welcome for a newfag like me
As someone, who has an interest in railroading and railroad photography (bear with me), I have experienced more than my fair share of shit, but one thing has always stuck with me. "The Stare". As I mind my own business taking pictures, I always get stared down by nearly every passing vehicle, looks of disgust. Once, when I was taking pictures in a place seemingly popular with teenagers and people in their early 20's (big fucking mistake), I got made fun of at least four times, I guess they thought of me as an easy target considering I am usually alone, being called "fucking loser", and shit like that. But that wasn't the worst part. Some tall, black guy with his (white brunette) girlfriend outright laughed at me and raised his head in the air as if asserting dominance or some bullshit. Worst part was, his girlfriend actually LAUGHED AT ME ALONG WITH HIM. This moment fucking pisses me off to this day, and I know if I were to share story of mine anywhere else I would be ostracized. Can anyone else relate to this/give advice?
