Am i doing something wrong

**dans41** · 07-13-2014, 12:22 AM

I am a professional photographer who enjoys taking shots of the cheerleaders and giving it to them
I was harassed 2x at the Calgary game from fans
I dont believe its anyone else's business how many photos I take
they are all clean shots
can i have some advice

**AngeloV** · 07-13-2014, 12:28 AM

All depends. Is drool running down your face as you are taking these photos?

**dans41** · 07-13-2014, 12:39 AM

no and im not bothering anyone

**dmont** · 07-13-2014, 12:56 AM

.

Define "giving it to them" lol

But seriously, you were probably standing in the aisle or something and blocking someone's view of the game.

As long as the cheerleaders don't mind your presents, and you're not blocking anyones view of the game, I say snap away.

I don't understand whay anyone would care what you are taking pictures of. As said
here already, if you were interfering in their view of the game, then maybe, but there were so many empty areas, you could have moved around. I used to take pictures of the cheerleaders many years ago and never had any problems.

No offence buddy, but you sound like a creeper.

I probably would have harassed you too.

Then why are the cheerleaders there?...and why would you be sitting that close to them if you're that offended by someone taking pics? What's the difference b/w taking pics of their performance or the performance of the players during the game?

We live in such a hypocritical society...yes, I understand no objectifying women, yet they are all adults so they know what they are doing....If you find taking pictures of them performing so objectionable, then does it not say that you find there performance objectionable and not fit for public display...taking pics of their public display can't be a problem unless you think their display is....People takes pics at publicly displayed performances all the team....sports games, concerts, folk and dance festivals...etc.

If he is spending more time during the game taking pictures of the cheerleaders rather than watching the game itself, then other people might perceive him somewhat negatively. I don't know whether dans41 is doing that or not though and, of course, even if he is that is his prerogative.

**dans41** · 07-13-2014, 03:26 PM

its my business what i do
People dont have to be concerned what i do, unless i am interfering in their experience

**1argoholic** · 07-14-2014, 07:38 AM

You are obviously coming across like a total perv to other fans. How do you give pics to the cheerleaders so fast are you using a polaroid camera. Now if you're using a polaroid then you are a perv. hahahaha. Where do you sit? Can I have some pics?

**ColdCrusty78** · 07-14-2014, 11:43 AM

Perhaps your the same guy that bumped into my pregnant wife at the tailgate trying to take pictures of them?

If it's your business and feel people need to mind their own business (or as you put it don't be concerned with what you do) why the hell would you have even brought it to the attention of the members here?

All joking aside, Glad this was moved out of the Double Blue room. Something just doesn't seem, right here. There definitely is a creepy element to this thing.

Right? Yikes

**herrington2828** · 07-14-2014, 04:20 PM

super creepy and judging by his past posts on this forum, it is definitely a part of his character. id chirp him too

**T-Bone** · 07-14-2014, 04:32 PM

Is it fair to judge someone solely on posts they have made on a message board?

And by what means would you like them to "pay you back" for the photos? That would be my first question. No matter how it's sliced, you sound like a pervert.

**herrington2828** · 07-14-2014, 04:39 PM

no your right T-bone, but I think matchuk hits it bang on ... dans41 has had a tendency like our old friend ROCKET to just complain and start things

Where did he say he wanted anything in return?

He is so far no where near the level of Rocket Man when it comes to complaining as far as I can see.
