This is a picture that I took at the "farmers market"....He ask me what I was doing....and I said taking a picture.
I bought some of course so he was happy.....do you think I should give him an 8 x 10 photograph? he was a little rude.:D

George,
great photo, great peppers, rude seller. The rude bit sounds just like England.
In France he would have offered you a taste to show that they were as good as they looked.

You should have told him that in case you get food poisoning you might need a picture for evidence.:twisted:
People get so paranoid about pictures sometimes I think it would be easier if I made my camera look like a bazooka.(not (too)seriously of course):)
Great picture!

I learned the hard way (pretty mad store owner) that it's best to ask permission first, and since then, no one has ever said no.:)

Hi George;
The idea of giving him a print might soften his attitude for future
picture taking during different seasons.
I do like the image ........ Tom :)

Give him an ego George! Give him a picture and tell him how good his peppers were....

I agree with Denise ... he may think twice about being rude to someone. Putting a smile one someones face or in their heart is a priceless gift to both the giver and the reciever.

George, great shot!
Perhaps he thought you were from the OPIB....
(Ontario Pepper Inspection Board - surely you've heard of them....:D )

That might not be too far off the mark! Maybe he was a bit nervous because it was a "local only" market and his beautiful peppers were from Texas... :D:D:D

George great picture, especially w/a point and shoot. Sometimes its better when your nice to a rude person. I think it insults them when your nice when usually all they want is a confrontation.

Charlotte....thank you !!!!
As I said in post 14? these P&S cameras have come a long way,and one wonders if it pays to spend money on a more expensive camera:eek:
Anyway hope that you have a nice day.

George,
Nice shot of the peppers. DH and I are thinking about taking our cameras to a couple of our "local" marketplaces this weekend. Hopefully we won't run into any unhappy vendors.
