I ran into this scene and was more curious to see how this scam worked so I watched and chose when to shoot. Follow the adventure down below.


*The images below are in the order I made them*
So as I snuck in here, I was watching and trying to figure out who was a
part of this con.

When they saw me take the picture, I just walked away with the intentions
of trying to come back for the money shot (no pun intended), but here is what
the crowd looked like after the bus had picked up half of them.

In this frame, the elderly lady you see next to the con with the smile on her face
was ''allowed'' to win $20.00....

So After that picture, I walked to the other side. Nobody noticed me as they
where to busy watching them take her for $100.00 !!! She then started accusing
the con of ripping her off and making a bit of a small scene. I knew then she was
not a part of the con, but a victim.

So that is when I could not take it and would not stand for it, so I started to
get in his face as well (In Spanish) and started to snap away and threatened
to call the police if he did not give her back her money. That is when his thug,
tried to grab my camera and lets just say, he did not succeed 8~) The adrenalin
rush was amazing I must say as he took a nap.

Javier, they are really exciting shots. I don't have much sympathy for the woman though.

I'd love to see what kind of photos you could take in my old neighborhood of Highland Park, CA., Javier. I lived there for 30 years, im sure id be able to recognize every street. Though it's been 6 years since I moved from there, so im not sure what all has changed.

Are you talking about Highland park as in the Avenues?

 

[Skyclad]

Yep, From Figueroa St. to York Blvd., Ave 50 - 64. As in where 95% of Reservoir Dogs was filmed

How funny. I just shot a full roll over the course of two weeks in that very area. As soon as I get it developed, I will post up some pics.
Shame, that the area is fully gang infested again like it was many years ago.
