Today on Visual Boy, Nagayan clears up a popular misconception about himself:
"Peeping tom photos"
This is a word that's been coming up often on Nagayama Takashi's blog. If you read the comments, it's definitely a word you see a lot.
I'm going to write my entry here today while giving you a whiff of the dangerous scent that is "peeping tom photos." Thank you for reading m(__)m Please stick with me for a while.
I believe it was winter 2009 when the words "peeping tom photos" first started popping up. On Tsuchiya Yuuichi-shi's blog...I recall he threw up some phrase like "Takashi's taking peeping tom photos"...
Now, everyone: peeping tom photos are a crime. So does that make me a criminal-at-large?
Of course not.
Let me explain how it goes; first, we must seek out someone who we know won't get mad if we just snap a shot of them without their permission. Even if they might get mad, let's wait a little bit and then they might be more open to it. When we find them in a funny situation, let's hold back our laughter until later, when we can laugh all we want. And then we creep up slowly so as not to be noticed...ready ourselves...adopt a stance so that even if we move suddenly the picture won't blur--and press the button.
*pasha*
And that's a peeping tom shot! (>_<)
But if we just upload it like that to our blog, it's nothing more than a peeping tom shot. So we show it to the other person...
"Can I upload this to my blog?"
"It looks pretty good, don't you think?"
Almost everyone says, "Sure, it's fine." And of course that's just a simple snapshot--there are some who don't like to be photographed at all, so I try to ascertain the situation in the beginning. It's not good for people to feel weird just because of a snapshot, so your targetshould always be people who won't get mad.
Once I get the OK from them, I happily upload the picture to my blog. The "peeping tom shots", while not pre-arranged when I shoot them, are still shots I got permission to post from the subjects themselves later.
And of course there have been some shots that were turned down by the subject or by my own decision (:_;) I wonder if I'll ever show them...
...Of course not. Though if I'm ever alone and want to have a laugh, I'll check them out secretly...
..............I REALLY NEED TO GET MY HANDS ON THAT PHONE, GDI.
And if anyone can find that entry where Tuti accuses Nagayan of 盗撮, I'd love you forever XDDDD
