Weird Men..
The story
Soo, I have digital photo class for my final I have to submit photos, whatever, I pick my sister as my model.. Today, was a busy day, so I decided to take pictures outside @ 8 pm. I’m always aware of my surroundings, checking every car that drives past as I hide my camera( don’t wanna get mugged🙄🙄) but this guy drives past and I can sense he stopped by not looking and all I hear is “period bitch” trying to be cheeky and stuff. mind you my sister is 13. And it might sound like a compliment but it was uncomfortable for her. He probably thought she was older. But I’m just sharing this bc I need to get it off my chest. I told my mom and her she was like “that’s why I didn’t want yall outside” should’ve taken her word. But for me I think this just a trauma thing for me. I seen women get catcalled online or either in person. And it has taking a toll on what I dress, not liking tight shirts and stuff, thinking it was drawing attention which it shouldn’t.. (for anyone wondering why I took pictures outside late was bc of my theme for my photo, Polaroid nostalgia)

Points of view
firstly, I must express my sympathy for the uncomfortable situation you and your sister experienced 😟 i understand the urgency to complete your project, but taking pictures late can sometimes invite unwanted attention. this reminds me of a time when I was out late for a school project and faced similar challenges trying to keep things cool 😬 while I mostly agree with your concerns, there is always a balance to maintain between staying safe and getting stuff done in the way you envision. perhaps there are ways to recreate that nostalgic vibe in a more controlled environment without compromising safety and comfort either way always trust your instincts and look out for each other
I don't understand that kind of weirdos... :-/
same here: there are so many guys who behave like this, it's completely crazy... (and I am a man, I don't get it)
hey i get where you're coming from but i kinda see it a bit differently. sometimes people just say random stuff without thinking. once someone yelled at me for my hat and it was just a laugh. not saying it wasn't uncomfortable for your sis but maybe it wasn't meant that way 🙃 being cautious is cool but sometimes we just gotta roll with it and not let it bug us too much. just my take on things, hope all goes well with your photos!
