zoot shoot

using a mayamfa rz camra
ok.
so i know i have a problem with authority.
but when a couple of care in the community officers 'stop and search' me as a potential terrorist threat for pointing my 'mayamfa rz camra' in the direction of the houses of parliment (from the other side of the river) and tell me that i'm not allowed to photograph the house of commons becasue i'm using a professional camera (camra) i find it VERY hard to be compliant and polite.
now i'm not suggesting that i know the rules better than these two employees of the state, but they were clearly inventing new laws.
they couldn't even spell.
and when i started to get irratated by them trying to flex the dayglow muscles, things escalated.
as if a terrorist would go to the trouble of having a full fahion crew with them and would go to the trouble of having the model shouting 'hurry up and take the pictures i'm freezing'.
today i was shooting 10 pages of fashion with the incredible model nadine strittmatter, the great stylist grace woodward, kenny campbell: the (great) make up artist and turo, the (of course) great hair stylist.
this was the rescheduled reshoot for the location shoot for zoot.
it was going to be a studio shoot, then the forecsast said we should expect sunshine so we loaded up a location van and chipped off to london city.
it rained a bit and it snowed.
couldn't even get an accurate same day forecast let alone a five day one.
had a great shoot despite the 'stop' with the glorified traffic wardens aka aforementioned idiots in uniform.
ended up shooting in picadilly circus with a large crowd of people photographing me photographing nadine.
absolutely knackered now.
at least the shoot doesn't have to be turned round to go finished and retouched to the magazine by tomorrow evening...ur...
