Lol. Rimrook illegal filming 2013.

Now Available for Wedding and Funeral Services.

Ah, been there. They bring you in to work but they don't let you do your work.

I don't care because I bill by the hour, not by the photo. And I make sure they know this and I'll be billing them for my presence even if they don't let me take any photos.

I'm constantly in events where the bullies at the checkpoints ask for access credentials which I'm never given. Instead of giving me a pass or something, I have to chase around the people in charge so that they can walk me up to the checkpoint and tell the bully I'm clear. And the bullies have a short term memory of about five seconds, because this will happen again in ten minutes and fifty more times through the night. And they never remember me walking in ten minutes earlier or even having seen me in the place hours before the doors were opened and the public was allowed in.

I feel you bro.

They let me film at the gala event but they placed me back behind the photographers which they all kept fucking up my shot. This one British lady was super bad because she just leaned right before my lens like I wasn't even there and blocked the view for a dozen other people also recording the show. If she does it tonight, I do have a nifty tripod that is sturdy enough to double as an extendable baton. Either way, it was cool because they announced me all awesome and shit. Even though anyone can film the main show, they asked me to form the DVD. So everyone who filmed is also a potential alternate camera angle if they volunteer their videos. Most will I think, I know many of them and could ask. My battery ran out half way through so I was scrambling to grab footage on my backups. The show tonight is twice as long to that worries me so I have a long day of unloading and recharging since I can't do much else. If that bitch blocks my shot again tonight, she's getting bludgeoned.

You get in front of her instead.

HAHA! Love this comic like thing.
