He was photographing in a run down area (he was told that it was a bad area, but went anyway.) He was using an N90 in his hands, had an M3, 35/2, and film in a backpack slung over one shoulder, and had a belt pack (small) around his waist. While photographing, a rather large man came running at him, grabbed the waist belt pack, ripped off of him and ran away. My friend was not hurt. A little shaken as he fell during the assault. The thief was not interested in cameras. He obviously thought there was money in the waist pack. But there was only Neosporin, suntan lotion, band aids, gum, and aspirin. He continued to photograph. The man never returned. Jim http://www.photoaccess.com Jim Brick, ASMP, BIAA Photo Access (650) 470-1132 Visual Impressions Publishing Visual Impressions Photography (408) 296-1629
