Shooting yourself in a park alone dressed as a Stormtrooper

Last summer I shot a few tests in a park by myself. I was worried and embarrassed. Worried someone would take my camera as I ran around like a fool in Stormtrooper armor. Some people even stopped and watched, I just waved "everything is fine here how are you?" I would be lying if I said I didn't feel dumb. But growing being bullied and made fun of... you just roll with it and try to remind your self why you are doing it. It's Extremely frustrating working with the camera in gear and not knowing if anything will be in focus.
