I did this shot while in New York with a Point and Shoot camera.  I met a guy once who asked what was the best P and S camera to buy.  I did not understand since at the time I didn’t own a point and shoot.

When I asked him what he ment, he said “Push here Stupid” with a big grin, doooooh……  I get it.

I try to always carry a camera, try is the key word.  Shots like this sometimes no matter how long you wait, will not happen at the right time.

This shot is as you see it, no PhotoShop, honest.  Sure you could create something like this in a computer which I am writing on, but the fun of photography is the “moment”  and making it happen on screen is just not he same since you don’t get to experience the moment of capture.

Maybe it is just me, but as I look at all the images out there, I do have a tendency to pick’em apart.  I have pissed off a few when the flaws are pointed out.

I don’t pick the stuff apart to be mean, but where I have come from, photography is the truth at the moment, sometimes with some assistance.  When shadows don’t make sense or people are doing things just not possible, I point it out…..

My flaw.
