I was shooting a family reunion meal on Saturday night for a friend of a friend.

It was in aid of a couple in their 60s and their Son and his family who live abroad.

It was like a very emotional episode of Surprise Surprise at first but soon settled down and in between taking shots I got chatting to the family.

One of the guys was sweating buckets and his wife (I believe she's 68 years old) said "Look at the state of you!!!", he turned round and said "I ain't a bad as you when you wore those rubber knickers in Ibiza!!" :gag:

It took a second or two for that statement to sink in and wonder where I left the brain bleech :lol:

Thinking she'd give him a slap and tell him not to be daft she confirmed that she did wear said article of "clothing" and it was too hot to wear them followed by "Well you didn't complain about the catsuit and thigh high leather boots did ya?!"

Cue me looking for a hole to open up and swallow me :bonk::bonk:

It just got me thinking, I like to think I'm an approachable kinda guy and it's nice that people who've only known me for an hour feel comfortable enough to share this type of information but is it normal? Has anyone else been privy to intimate or personal information from virtual strangers while taking their photos?
 
Some people just don't see an issue with it, and the older people get the less they care .

My full time job involves me running chat rooms for an online gambling site, some of the things you hear are indeed cringe worthy, but I just laugh them off. :)
 
I must admit I have zero shame so I tend to be the one dishing out too much information.
 
I can't see anything wrong with that conversation - it's not like it was offensive or pervy, just a mature couple having fun and being brazen about it. It may even have been a prank to wind you up and see what sort of reaction they got (like if they were planning on being photographed in all their gear!!)

I've had many intimate conversations with the women I've photographed, but I suppose women are more open about things like sex, at least that's been my experience. I have no problem at all with somebody confiding in me, so long as it's nothing really dodgy.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very open minded but given that this was a family meal with their children and grandchildren in earshot and the fact that I'm a stranger they might have been a little more reserved :lol:

She did say she'd wear the catsuit for her 70th Birthday and she wanted me there to get some shots of her party! :bonk::lol:

Go for it - what an experience! I imagine she'll have a lot of 'like minded' friends along too! :lol:

I don't know if you've ever watched it but I'm getting visions of the older couple in Bendorm :lol:
 
It is true - the older I get the worse I get. My wife really gets annoyed especially when she thinks I am 'flirting' with other women........

It's great fun - even though I'd probably run a mile if it was returned:lol:

BTW - rubber pants:razz:

Man after me own heart there mate! Once they get passed a "Certain" age, the more "Mature" woman is well up for a laugh - well most of the time! Much better than a giggly sub 25 year old. At the end of the day, their all the same with the lights off or a bag over their head! :p



Wedding cake - the worlds best contraceptive! :rules::bat::bonk: (And in that order)!

You've been hanging about with the wrong sub-25 year olds then :wink:

Although I think women do get less inhibited as they get older (saying this at the tender age of 34 :lol: )

Going on my ex-wife, Wedding cake only compounded and existing problem :lol:
 
The wife once asked me if I had ever considered having an affair - I told her there's only so much suffering a man can take..........

One woman is enough suffering for any man to endure:lol::lol::lol:
