I wasn't actually photographing anything when the woman yelled at me not to photograph her kids, and then called the cops. When I walked home she followed me and copied my street address for the cops. To the cops credit, they questioned another couple in the park who knew me and vouched for my intentions. The cops let it drop and didn't pay me a visit. I learned about it later from the couple they questioned. It's so crazy these days that I don't even think about doing street photography any more. Which makes the world a poorer place, IMO. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
