My entire career as a photographer, I've been taught to say something incredibly nasty. If someone says, "Oh, you've got a nice camera," we're often told to remind people that it's the photographer who makes the images first.

And this is true, but much of the vernacular around this is often really rude -- when in reality, the person saying what they did perhaps didn't mean anything rude at all. Instead, what they were saying was coming from a place of love. I don't think that people doing something from a place of love for us should be handled rudely. Instead, it makes more sense to educate them with kindness. . thephoblographer.com
