* She's a minor ! *


* She's a minor ! *

There was another girl at the scene who started protesting when she noticed me taking pictures.
"No pictures. She is a minor. She is a minor," she said in English (not Dutch).

I guess she was refering at the blond girl who was modelling and by now i am wondering what she was doing by stressing the fact there was a minor involved.

My indepth sociopsychological analysis goes here:
* she does not only not want me to refrain from taking a picture of the young model, she somehow tries to convince me its punishable forbidden not to do so
* she comes to this thought because she talked with a 'wise adult' on the photoshoot who gave her some kind of warning on the risks of public modelling in the streets of Amsterdam, for example dirty old foreign tourists who can get aroused by young girls
* out of the conversation with the wise adult, the moral inflicted girl feels uncomfortable herself for going out in public to take pictures of her minor friend
* the first occassion she gets she tries to transfer her guilty feeling

Well its a good thing we have a city where we can freely observate, interpretate and take pictures without being depended of the judgements of smarty schoolgirls.

Screenpunks not interested in shooting minors, but in shooting funny streetscenery and smartsy commenting on it.
