Nice quip at the trending page, but you may have been to generous. I've seen some toilet bowls used as flower pots in yards around here.

Great photos as usual, you always do a great job of telling the story with your photographs.

Dude, toilet bowl flower pots? That's grotesque! 😁

Thank you so much! 🙇 I think the first photo would have been better if the guys were in it. But if they were actually sitting there, drinking and talking, I would have probably not taken a photo. See, I am afraid to point my camera at people...

I think the toilet bowl flower pots were a trend that never should've caught on. but if you google "toilet planter" you will see what I am talking about.

Here I was all along thinking I was the only photographer who was scared to point my camera at others. It makes me nervous for some reason.

I just googled the toilet planters 🚽 I don't understand how there are people in this world who like such stuff.

I dunno if it's the same for you, but for me, the biggest fear is that I might end up having a confrontation with the people I am taking pictures of. Maybe a longer 150mm + lens could solve this problem?

I don't know if it's the confrontation I fear, but maybe just the awkwardness of it.

Depending on the situation a longer lens could be helpful but that also intimidates people more. Usually no body says a thing to me when I am walking around with my phone but my dslr draws attention.
