When required, I make full use of an indispensible accessory and adjunct: my 115lb (8 stone or 52kg) male German Shepherd mix. "I've had several people stop at the same time with..." Hey you! What the hell are you taking my picture for?" and none of them actually in the frame at the time of the exposure, but the camera was in their general direction." I recently began photographing an indigent, young asian woman dressed in sheer pink and cyan whose poor attempts at dance I at first thought were intended as a parody of typical street performers, when she began gesturing rather dramatically that she did not wish to be photographed. I walked a short distance, moving well to her side out of sight and took a few more photographs of her. As I turned to leave, someone passed me and angrily said "Hey, buddy! she said she didn't want her picture taken!" ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
