Following three 1.79m tall models from Ukraine all around town today was an exercise in... I dunno what, but it was an exercise alright.
Generally, I love women who are distinctly comfortable in their own skin - not appearing comfortable for the sake of appearing so - and these girls were quite something. I like!
But it was tiresome. Not speaking the language didn't help much. Being with three girls without knowing what they're saying all day can be really tiring. I can't smile for that long.
After it was over, and I was exhausted and tired and mentally preparing myself for the long night ahead (its still the beginning, even now), I guess maybe I was looking to let off some steam.
So it was just that guy's bad luck that I walked past him just as he snapped a photo from a digital camera, held discreetly in his hands which were down by his side as if he was holding it as he walked past. But it was held at a strange angle, so it looked deliberate.
The flash went off, which made me look, and I saw him lift up the camera almost immediately after as he stood at the bus stop, 'previewing' the shot.
I looked around, a bit bewildered. Where are the short skirts or big boobs? The only bit of flesh I saw was from a woman in mini-shorts and heels.
That's it? I thought I might have made a mistake.
But the dude just kept looking at his camera, and I suppose he just had that kind of face that made me want to yell at him.
"Did you just take a photo of that woman in shorts?"
He turned, and the look on his face was all the confirmation I needed.
"No! No, no...."
"I saw you. I saw the flash go off."
"No no no you can see the photo."
And I did, and obviously he missed his mark because the shorts was almost not in the frame. So what now? Failed attempt means no attempt is it!?
"So what's the point of this photo? Why did you even take it in the first place?"
--- stammer, more 'No no no no no' ---
"It was an accident, is it??"
"Yes, yes.. accident, accident."
"But you immediately went to look at the photo you took! I saw you!"
--- stammer, more 'No no no no no' ---
I said some other line, calling him sick and what not and just turned and left. I would've told the woman, but he didn't have a photo anyway, and talking to him didn't help me blow steam, it made me pissed off.
So then I was thinking, whether or not he did do anything wrong. Public property and all that. Plus pple take photos of cute strangers all the time.
I dunno, maybe it was the perverse-ness of this situation, and how I had spent all day worrying men behind me on the escalator were looking up the models' skirts....
Aiyah. I have a lot of work to finish.
