Not always. If they ask with attitude as this guy did, then it's another story. Sorry Tony I misunderstood what you said. Here in NY, especially in come of the ethnic neighborhoods some people get really upset at the sight of anyone with a camera. Attitude or not, I just don't think it's right to make someone uncomfortable, just for my own pleasure. I have a couple of series of shots I took at a wholesale farmer's market where all of the subjects were Mexicans. These are people who bring in fruit and vegetables and sell it people who run small groceries and roadside stands. I didn't ask anyone's permission, but I held up the camera and kinda gestured that I was taking photos. There were a *lot* of wave-offs that day, but some willing subjects. I thought the wave-offs and turn-away-quicklies were about undocumented people, but one stall owner explained the fear was that I was from the state and photographing them making unreported income. My favorites from those series a http://tonycooper.smugmug.com/Other/...4_tra6R-X3.jpg Interesting shot. You have captured her exhaustion. There is something bothering me about her skin tones. Did you try some color mapping? No, I shot RAW, opened in Photoshop, adjusted Levels and Shadows/Highlights, boosted Contrast, and saved as a .jpg. All global adjustments, and my usual post-processing technique. I don't even know how to do color mapping. I suspect the skin appearance has something to do with the filtered light from the tree (seen on the right of the image) that shades her. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

Regardless, if someone doesn't want there picture taken I think their wishes should be respected. YMMV Ture, but either lying or claiming something due to one's ignorance doesn't help one's case. Excuse the Buddhist in me stepping in: this is irrelevant. Mere words and laws whether true or not at just "stuff" without a causal link. They are just words and laws - fresh air.

That is certainly going to put a crimp on the gun toting denizens of San Francisco Starbucks. Now the "open carry" laws in California are going to resemble those in Florida. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Unfortunately MN is one of the states without mutual CCW reciprocity with Florida. Yeah. Despite having taught for them, I haven't had a Florida or Utah permit. I don't travel enough for it to be a big deal, and the places I'm actually more interested in traveling it wouldn't help (CA, MA, IL, NY). Well, maybe at least IL will get fixed. WI, my neighbor, is getting fixed, though I haven't seen anything on reciprocity. In California a gun on the hip, uncovered is consider open carry, but must be unloaded. That has led to some of the strange scenes in San Francisco Starbucks with groups of open carry protagonists sipping coffee while wearing unloaded handguns. That one I remember from local news. There are some California Counties and municipalities which restrict and forbid open carry. A stroll down Hollywood Boulevard with a visible firearm on your hip would for example gain you the attention of LA's finest. It's a big state; the state preemption concept makes more sense in smaller ones. Personally as a retired LEO I have 50 state CCW privilege. Nice for you :-) . ...and here we are ;-) http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/135613117 Ah, a 1911 person. While I wouldn't advise you (though we could no doubt debate it amusingly if we were both in the mood), I did advise students (who were mostly not really that familiar with handling firearms) that a single-action auto wasn't a very good choice for carry for most people. I'm amazed at how many people seemed to have trouble with the manual-of-arms for their weapon in the (extremely lenient) "timed" shooting qualification we used. People pass just fine with a revolver and a pile of loose cartridges (have to reload in the middle; required even if your magazine is big), but people frequently screwed up just handling a semi-auto. Strange to me; but my stress reactions don't run that way, and I don't find tests stressful. Nice 1911, and nice holster, anyway. |

Strange to me; but my stress reactions don't run that way, and I don't find tests stressful. Nice 1911, and nice holster, anyway. Anybody who does not have a good training history with a 1911 is best advised to steer clear for carry purposes. It is definitely not safe for somebody unfamiliar with the concept of carrying "cocked & locked". For those without the time and available ammo to run the drills, a better option is undoubtably a DA revolver, or DOA auto. I have years of drills and thousands of rounds down range behind me with many pistol types, including various 1911's. We also had S&W M10's, & S&W 4006's as service handguns. Back in 1990 I bought a Glock 23 which served very well, but I hate the trigger, It is however an indestructible workhorse. Now I have my Kimber and it is the best working carry pistol I have ever owned. For qualifying I shoot with mags loaded with 6 rounds requiring a reload at each station. While still active I had to qualify quarterly, now as retired LEO I only have an annual qualification. I have other handguns which are purely target weapons, a Hi-Standard Supermatic Trophy, S&W M41, S&W M52, & S&W K38 Masterpiece, all well used. Add to those a few other curiosities and my home maintains its own little armory. -- Regards, Savageduck |
