Ambiguous Situation

A man on a lonely street stops and glares at you.

Suddenly he reaches inside his coat for a concealed object and comes striding straight toward you.

What do you do?

man with gun?

If you’re a photographer you shoot first, photoshop later.

I take pictures of people I don’t know.

Sometimes they smile, sometimes they frown. I can try to make educated guesses but in truth I never really know how they are going to respond.

I have been prowling streets for only slightly more than half a year now, but have accumulated some encounters you may find interesting.

The above is from the Foreword to a photo-essay, “If Looks Could Kill: When Strangers Notice You Taking Their Picture.” Click on the title if you wish to read the 26 page pdf.
