A few years ago I was out shooting general street scenes (documenting >the changes >in the Times Square area since the late 70's) when I noticed a young "street >kid" (about 10 or >11) flag down a police car. The car stopped and I saw the kid talking to the >cops while >turning and pointing to me. . .I walked over and the kid was yelling that I >had been taking >pictures of him. . .The police drove off. (. . .the kid wasn't even in the >print!) As my husband and I were stuck in traffic waiting to go through the Holland Tunnel, I pulled out my M6 to take some pics out the window. A man next to a hot dog stand started yelling obscenities at me as soon as he noticed. When I developed the negs I saw that he was giving me the finger! MK
