Haha, oh no, I'm in this picture. Last week I saw a guy with this massive lens and while walking by I said something like "Damn, that's a cool lens!". Okay, I'll file this away into the same class as "Rubik's cubes? Oh I just take the stickers off and put them on the same face" or whatever people say.

Look most people are kind. I'll chitchat for a moment... but yeah- if I could avoid gawkers... I mean FWIW much of my work is about people living on the fringe, on the road, or end of society. I spent years touring just living with people like that. You become one of them and "gawkers" are just that.

Im being reminded there was a name for this, Gonzo Journalism. But I see why in todays world people would confuse it with voyeurism.
