Hmmm. Do you think he would tell you about me before or after he broke your nose? Seriously, you are blaming the wrong target. Plus, as I have said elsewhere, anyone I piss off on the street is perfectly welcome to take a pop at me. But being cheeky is *NOT* the same as pissing people off. The only people who have *ever* been angry with me for taking their picture have been: drug addicts people selling stolen property members of the mafia I am not talking about photojournalism here, which is entirely different. These were all people I encountered street shooting. If any of these break your nose, Paul, come and talk to me. - -- Johnny Deadman "When a dog runs at you, whistle for him" - Thoreau
