When you are taking pictures outside in the public how do you feel when your taking them? Do you get any reaction from passers by and if so what?

When I am taking pictures outside in public I feel proud doing so because I believe Action Man belongs outside when being photographed but, that’s just my opinion. I’m also proud because I’m showing off my hobby to passersby. Toys, and in this instance I mean Action Man, also shows another means of photographing something. Sometimes the reactions from passersby is quite vocal. They wonder why I am lying on the ground and what I am doing there. Some people are intrigued at seeing a little plastic toy being used in this way. Some men say to me after I have told them that it’s a Action Man, ‘ Oh I remember having an Action Man when I was a youngster.” It’s always VAM they are referring to when saying that. I love chatting to people about what I am doing and some even find it fascinating and want to see the photographs I have taken previously.

A lot of people just stop and look on quietly. Some come along and ask questions, and I'm always happy to answer them and explain, and if the want to, shoot a few photos of my figures, all of whom I name and explain about. When I can tell someone is curious but too shy to ask, I often invite them to come take a closer look.

The one thing however I don't like are ill behaved young kids who want to try to grab my figures and play with them.
