RE: The Dangers of Street Photography
Hahaha!! He is the groom! That's so funny!! I saw that picture and I thought "Shit! He took a picture of a mafia henchman?!?"
I literally thought that this car was passing by while you were taking pictures and moments later it came to a sudden stop, this guy opened the door and turned to you, giving you that look! And right after that the other door opened as well and a similarly large guy emerged. And I thought... "Ok. How did he came out of it, not only alive, but with the picture, as well?"
The groom, he says! Unbelievable!
Never judge a person by his appearance:)
I second that!
No, this time i got lucky, just was trying to intrigue everybody more. But this is actually a serious issue, so you always have to mind neighborhood, time of day and culture if you are traveling as you could really get in trouble if you took a picture at the wrong time in the wrong place. But that never stops us photographers!
We got chased by a guy that looked like that. I took a photo of his daughter from our van and he literally ran after us. Except for the driver running a red light, he'd have probably caught us too. Still have those pics.
Before sept 2001, people were generally honoured to have their photo taken. It used to be a compliment.
Yes many things have changed after that and since then. While grown up are still more or less happy about it, but the kids are especially sensible matter. I usually avoid taking pictures of children without a clear consent of their parents.
I couldn't have said it any better !! exactly.
