The street was TEEMING with people; you could not take two steps without walking into somebody. It was the most public of public events. I'm standing there, and the actor Philip Seymour Hoffman is walking through the middle of this crowd. I raise my camera and shoot. His "people"-- one little guy with an attitude, who's directly in front of him and passing right in front of me-- says, "Ah, Mr. Hoffman is not taking pictures today." To which I reply, "Good for him. I, however, am."
