While I admire Kyle's ability to stay cool in some strange 
situations, this disturbing image left me wondering about the 
influence of photographer on subject. I know nothing of its 
background, whether spontaneous or staged, but it left me with the 
uncomfortable feeling that it might not have happened without Kyle's 
presence.
Presented without comment it raises questions about the ethics of 
concerned photography.
Could you tell us more, Kyle?
Nick.
