I'd not say that what I do is acceptable by beach goers. I'm basically papparazi on a nude beach. I disagree with you about:
1. The effect hidden photography have as opposed to the physical and immediate presence of many guys staying at a woman's crotch, they do not exercise control, and...
2. I do not approach women, set up next to them and shoot them. That technique, which I refer to as "stalking photographer" may be your style, but it is not mine. I find a place and stay, often when there are no females around. If they come, I may shoot them, if not, I don't get any footage.
: heres my $.02.............
: as a beachographer a statement like the following :"This pervert attack is predictable - always the same guys, and these perves have been successful in driving off most of the women" smacks of hypocrisy from Brad whom I have had many conversations with.
: To many, the covert guy: sneeking videos and photos as Brad and I have both done succesfully for years, to many we are the perverts.
: Is it fair to label the guy who gets close to women a perv when we do the same thing only accompanied by a camera?
: lets all be honest here.. we maneuver our positions and closeness to woman for profit. It's not right.. but we do it.
: As I see it, women would rather have some dude gawking at em than have someone sneek their photos and put em on the net. Am I guilty of this. Yes.
: And if you have a problem with it you shouldnt be at this site to begin with.
: I disagree with the stats at San O, man I have been there when there were well over 500 people on the nude side, I mean well over. And many stellar looking babes. But like all beaches, ya can never tell what it will be like until ya get there.
: the killer for nude beaches though isnt the "perv" with or without the camera its the extracurricular activity in the bushes, in the parking lot and around the beach. So if you enjoy San O or Blacks, Goleta, Pirates and so on do what ya can to
: a. rid the bush dwellers
: b. dont fukkin' litter!! pick up what ya brought in for cryin outloud.
: Was that $.02 or a whole damn nickels worth?
