The correct response would have been "GET YER $^$#%# HANDS OFF MY CAMERA." said in the same matter of fact stern voice. Me, being the nice friendly guy I am, would have shot that guys photo just to piss him off after he touched the front of my camera. Touching the front of my camera while I am working is, to put it in Tennessee talk "Fightin' words" In all my years as a news photographer I never ran into this. We tend to shoot photos of each other for fun....often it is fun to get a photo of yourself at some event in the mail or even funnier to see yourself working in the competition or on TV. I know I have been on TV countless times while working. The photo on my site of me was made by a fellow photographer while I was covering a Ga Tech football game for UPI. I did not ask her to shoot it...just looked over at her and she snapped the shot then sent it to me in the mail the following week. - -- Harrison McClary http://www.mcclary.net
