Originally posted by Mikhail I hate being young..

Annoying in ways but whatchagunadoaboutit?!
Thanks
I know exactly what you mean. Being 17 is even worse. By the way 18 is very young.
This reminds me of an incident. It was St. Patrick's Day Parade in NYC and
I'm with my camera past the bar with at least 5 other photographers.
After about 10 minutes this annoying cop ( I like cops) tells me it's dangerous
for me to be where I was. It was crazy because he didn't say anything
to all the other people there, like my camera wasn't big enough or I wasn't old enough.
Well I just left walk a couple blocks and was able to join the parade. Even the
cops later on didn't say a word.
