Photographer vs Sales Assistant
Paul Rule
I've been interested in photography for many years but, a hectic job, and family commitments, have left this hobby rather neglected in recent years. My Birding (or Bird Watching if you prefer) has also taken a back seat for a while, but I've been able to get back to th...

You really should have stood your ground, otherwise he will just do the same again.

I should have refused in the first instance and I really wish that I did.
It didn't bother me though untill he started with the 'you have to and I demand it' attitude.
I photograph Towns and Cities for a living and enevitably, every now and then someone asks 'what are you doing'.
This is the first time though anyone has ever demanded deletion.
(and as you can tell, it has really p'd me off)!!!!!!

Me : a thick twit that bought a fancy camera and doesn't know how to use it! Typical click and hope (that I get a picture of some description) is the usual day trip out. The chap I bought the Nikon from reckons I should have been vetted first for suitability and turned ...

Did you swap cards in the camera so you can recover the deleted pic when you're back home?

During the day I filled that card to capacity so I don't think it will be recoverable.

Hi there, my names Tommy.
My interest in photography started a few years back when I was sitting on my bum in an office doing overtime. As I sat there I had the luck to watch an amazing sunset from my window and suddenly thought what the hell am I doing sitting in t...

Its ironic we dont have the right to ban their dire TV adverts getting stuck down our necks every time we turn the TV on 
Ive heard some nice things about that company and Im not keen on their sales methods....

Use recovery software to get the deleted picture back and and send prints to the manager of the phone 4 u shop just to wind him up.

Sounds like a 'Monday night challenge' to me. Best image of a 'Moans 4 U' shop.
Bonus points if the manager is included in the picture

What is the mentality of these people, public shop front in full public view? Wonder if he was up to something he shouldn't be, maybe his displays weren't up to scratch or he's been skimping on the window cleaning budget.
I'd go back

Im 35,,married with 4 kids 5 if you count the hubby,which you would if you knew him ! I love taking photos and looking at other peoples also.
I believe that nothing worthwhile comes easily, so if somethings worth it then working hard for it is not really a hardship :)

He was probably picking his nose and inspecting his findings.......and embarrassed youd caught it with your camera!

Personally?... I'd print out an A3+ print of the image and whack it on his window - facing inwards.
Then stand outside the with the EPZ Meet members - and watch his face.
Out of politeness and to avoid any conflict I deleted the file and said words to the effect of I don't have to but out of politeness and courtessy I will do so.
He then went on a rant about how I did have to delete the file, had no right to take it etc...etc... all in an aggressive manner.
Unfortunatly I had already Deleted it when his rant started or I would have refused.
I am now going to write to Phones 4 U (Both branch and HQ) demanding a written appology.
Someone who works in a shop has no right to demand anything of me when I am going about my business on a public street, let alone order me to refrain from photography and delete images!
Does anyone have any Ideas as to how to word my letter to them??
Thanks in advance.
