Breaking News!

A Decisive Moment was narrowly averted today when an alert Insecurity Guardian detained a would-be Imagist found with nearly two-and-a-half pounds of plastic Nikon strapped to his wrist. The suspect appeared to be a street photographer and had concealed on a memory card various jpegs of conscientious consumers carrying shopping bags, swaddled in cell phone cocoons or drip fed from latte cups.

This kind of jpeg, Investigators warned, can easily be uploaded and viewed electronically by foreign operatives. A spokesman for the HomeLand Profit Alliance stated that all persons not conspicously consuming will be prosecuted regardless of the law and those found carrying cameras could face water boarding.

Bongo.. I see you got the shot tho! Stealth cam or is this a photo of you taken by a pal?

Is this for real or some kind of statement by you. Sometimes I can't tell reality anymore. It's the times.

Hey Jan!
No, These are two shots I took at different times, and I'm just using them here to illustrate my story (i don't know what that guy was arrested for).

I, like a lot of street shooters, have been detained, harrassed, and "run out of town" at various times - its gotten to the point where just carrying a camera is grounds for suspicion in a lot of places.
