last summer i tried to photograph some chess players in washington square
park, one guy jumped up and clapped his hand over my camera lens and
another guy started shrieking at me -- the guy with his hand over my lens
said "you better get out of here now, some of these guys are crazy."

there's something to be said for getting to know your subjects before you
photograph them. i guess if i wanted to really do it, i should have spent
a week there without my camera first.

eh, who needs a superficial photo anyway....
