You didn't try street photography in Lebanon.

When you have a camera you are considered a spy, more precisely ISIS spy, you have even sometimes to do with the police or security agents, or worst some militiamen in civil clothing , Lebanese army guys are nonetheless more understanding as long as you stay away from the tanks and bases.

It is disgusting when a dude comes from nowhere saying he is a security or secret agent and he wants to check every single picture on your camera to verify you didn't take forbidden pictures, luckily when it happened to me, there was a police patrol passing by, I asked for help and they solved the issue,  naturally I never went shooting at that place again.

 

Sounds an unhealthy place to be with a camera!!




Over the years I have developed an allergy to being shot for spying , my doctor advised me just this condition alone can be life threatening  :unsure:  !
