Don't you see the >analogy? I've heard this. I've never experienced this or seen it. Could be the part of the country I live in. (Midwest and upper midwest states.) Probably having my own kid at a playground makes me safer now. For a college photo class, I drove around looking for inspiration. Finally saw a young mother and her kid at a playground outside of married student housing. Stopped, chatted with the mother, and then took pics of both of them. Granted, I wasn't middle aged then. I've shot pictures at my "Little Brother's" (as in Big Brothers/Big Sisters) sporting events. I was a stranger to most of the parents, but I still never got any grief. (This was while I was still in St. Paul.) Sad to say, I attended more games than some of the parents. -- Eric http://canid.com/
