This photo shoot served to remind me how much differently people act around you if you happen to be accessorized with an expensive looking camera. Specifically, people act like nincompooperous dunces. Amid one of my evening shots on Main, some blithering, ill-begotten speech impediment screamed from his car “Take a picture it’ll last longer.” Why do women never resort to the base idiocy that emasculated, insecure males do only when protected by a moving vehicle?

Also, I was forced to ponder why one encounters so many seemingly crazy people in the urban core. Eventually I concluded that there probably aren’t necessarily more crazy people in the urban core than the suburbs, it just merely seems that way due to the higher population density in the core.
