but the guy in frisco shoots pro football, since detroit doesn't have a pro football team i can't imagine him working out your way Hahah I am a Detroit Lions fan for some crazy reason I am still trying to figure out, and saying Detroit doesn't have a pro football was funny as hell, they truly should be exiled to the CFL. Thanks for making my day.
Have a good weekend all!!

Am I the only one to consider the possibility that he was treating her the same as he was treating the male photographers and that her ''power of a woman'' simply had no effect on him? Just a thought... ;-)

If you ever need me to come with you on a shoot or host an event for you, just let me know.  Learn how to make dry heaves.... it works at concerts all the time , even with photographers who are pushing into your view....
Some one will think twice about being in front of you when you act like you are going to puke....
Also ,if you coughed and sneezed uncovered and alot it may have worked....

Actually, if you look at the guy, give him a couple of years and he'll probably be dead. Overweight, obviously not in any exercise regime, stressful job, clearly heart attack or stroke material. Let nature take its course.

1) While I am normally the soul of politeness, if you tried to use your feminine wiles on me to get me to surrender a spot to you, I would deliberately go out of my way to mess up your sight line. Homey don't play that. You want to be equal, act like it. Otherwise stick to covering garden teas.
2) I am all for civility and professional courtesy. Wednesday after I settled a case, opposing counsel for the psycho-hos... I mean, plaintiff, and I chatted for about five minutes quite cordially. And if there's room, I'll be glad to share. But I'm here to get my shot. I will get my shot. I have no objection to your getting your shot, and as long as you're not a jerk, I'll be glad to try to let you get your shot. But I don't care if you get your shot, and if what I have to do to get my shot interferes with your shot, them's the breaks. I won't push you or shove you unless you push or shove first, but I will get as close as I reasonably can, and I won't move. You won't hear me whine about your being in my way, and I don't want to hear it from you.

M Exactly.
I'm surprised at how many of you are ripping this guy a new one over things that really don't seem that ridiculous. If other photographers want to give you prime real estate because you fluttered your eyelashes, then that's them. But if someone else doesn't want to play ball, then you really can't blame him. And I'll be clear on this point: if it works go for it. Use the tactics available to get your shot, just don't begrudge the next man when he uses his.
At the end of the day, you aren't the editor he has to answer to for his shots...

just carry a tazer and give him a secret jolt while noones looking. Noones looking at the photogs anyway. he'll be down and out for the duration of your shooting and when he comes to in the ambulance later, he will be scratching his head in total confusion. it's clean, easy and if you can do it undetected...quite sneaky and effective! Edit: this works by the way for pretty much any crowded situation in which you want some crudbag to get the hell outta your way. (legally!)

Sorry lady but I gotta say this .... it really appears to me that your ego was damaged ... your "batting eyes" didn't affect him as you so needed to point out about the others who "gave way for you"! Been ther done that and I suspect his actions weren't as bad a you imagined .... An ego can blind ones perspective. But in the end it appears he was doing a very professional job!

That photo is a crack-up. I can just caption the guy mumbling under his breath "Get the f--k out of the way....come on dammit....there's something happening somewhere and *I* need to be there to photograph it! Move it people!"

She did say he was shoving her. Getting a shot and standing your ground are one thing, but pushing people seems a bit uncivilized.

However, her other statements have damaged her credibility in my eyes to the point where when she says "shoving," I read, "standing his ground and indicating through body language that he would not move even when I nudged him." If he was actively shoving her, then hey, that's different. That tells me there were *two* photographers acting like jerks.

This image speaks by itself, good job girl!! looks like a working pro to me. why should he move for a part time press photographer who he will most likely never see again? Its his job to come back with the shot. The congress mans people should have maybe cordoned off an area where you would have had room tyo bat your eyelids or whatever.

It is clear by your post that you want to be treated special JUST because you are a woman. You bat your eyes...so much for equal rights! The moment you get treated as an EQUAL, you bitch because you were bullied...Nice!
Anyway, if you think that job was tough, you wouldn't last five minutes in NYC.
The guy is just doing his job, getting the shot at ALL COSTS!
If you want to be a press photographer, get used to all the pushing around and get used to getting treated like an EQUAL. When you are working for the Press, you are just another photographer, be it male or female, young or old, you are JUST another photographer.
Try shooting Fashion Week in NYC! Udo can attest to that one! Specially if you have to shoot backstage.
If someone pushes you, push back twice as hard, let them know that you're not going to take their shit! Sooner or later they will know NOT to push you because you WILL push back. Cameras have a way of giving bruises when turned too quickly on accident...
Good luck!

Common guys you should know by now that is an old press photographers trick to block you from getting good pictures so you will look bad and they will look good.
I'm not kidding, then they will bad mouth you all over the place saying how bad your photos are and you can't get a good shot.
Of course you can't get a good shot with him in the way, I'm surprised anyone let you through eyes batting or not.
The press and the photogs shooting famous people do it all the time, it's called blocking and there is nothing accidental about it in any way!
It's a trick of a pro, so be a pro and knock him on his ass he'll love it!
That is also a trick of a pro, like several photogs here said knocking them down with grace like an accident is also a sign of a pro.
Wow, a woman photog who can really handle herself! Now there is a pro who looks good in heels!

The other day at the Guiliani press conference there was this photographer (above), who was getting on my last nerve. There were more than a few times when he almost got my heel poked up his ass for blocking me. The congressman's people asked him quite a few times to let me through because the congressman wanted me to get specific shots. This guy just did not care. I don't know who he was there for -- maybe The Detroit News.
As soon as he'd get his chance, he'd be pushing me out of the way again. I was the only female photographer, so the other male photogs were easy to deal with. I didn't have to get aggressive with them, I just batted my eyes like a lady and they kindly stepped aside (Behold the power of a woman!). But that guy... nope, didn't work with him. I had to get a bit pushy and stand my ground with him. I gotta' give him credit, though. He was on a mission and there was no stopping him. Lol...
But, he did ruin what could've been a great shot on a few of them... I'm noticing as I'm sitting here going through them. Grrrrrr...! Annoyed, yes...
The point of this thread..? I dunno'. I just needed to take a break, vent, bitch a little. And nobody's here to listen to me bitch. So.... So, why did you take his picture?
Are you going to use it as a dart board?
