My intent is not to be creepy but to find moments of beauty in the day. I respect the subjects and do not ridecule them. Most make them look better by angle, light, motion or saturation. <br />Almost all are taken from the hip.<br /><br />Lisa commented that I am addicted to taking pics of strangers, actually I am most excited by exploring this minimal tool.<br /><br />From the beginning I have beem bothered a bit by privacy issues. <br /><br />Particularly on the LIRR train.John M.

I suppose you would risk having your BB yanked from your hand and thrown onto the tracks by some suspecting philanderer or crook. Life is full of risk. <br /><br />If someone is giving you a weird look, ask their permission and tell them it's an art project. <br /><br />I like these subway rides, looking forward to them in September along with an adirondack chairs in Times Square, Broadway tickets and a visit with friends. How about a BBQ at Jones?

On another note, all documentary photographers and filmmakers have had to endure slings and arrows in the name of <i>privacy rights</i> which, on the public street or in a public conveyance, do not exist.Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17423557003198168150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831537707623184222.post-38959957075014780302009-07-12T06:55:28.168-04:002009-07-12T06:55:28.168-04:00You take care of yourself, John.
