So is photographing some cute girl's ass at a water park qualify as capturing a stranger street-style?

NOTE: I seriously did this because I thought the shot was cool, not because I was being a dirty old man.

Sorry, 'ass' was a bit crass, but it was funny.

Anyway, went to Canobie Lake Park today and shot this gentleman on the way in...

I knew right away the image was going to be a little blurred as the shutter was too slow, so I lined up for another shot once we were through the gate and the man JUMPED out of the frame.

I laughed and said, "Oh, I was actually trying to get a shot of you!"

He seemed very irritated and said, "I don't want pictures taken of me thank you very much."

I was kinda floored... I actually thought of Javier's comment about not being as bold as he thought, as well as the recent thread on whether or not it's [para] "ok to shoot people without asking for permission" (or whatever)

I felt this kind of combination of guilt for having taken it, embarrassment for having been caught and rebuked, and irritation at the man for being so seemingly unreasonable about it. (admittedly this last one was mostly a defensive reaction on my part... the man had every right to be annoyed, of course)

Obviously, I didn't feel guilty enough to delete the picture I had... and not guilty enough to not post it here, but... I may whack it in the future. I dunno. Still thinking on it.

Oh leave it. It is a great picture and memory. I love it. I have been rebuked in Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and good ole English...No biggie..

I'll try to find that thread and post it here.

I love that one of the two women for some reason. Something about the variation in size of their... uh... bumps... made me chuckle.
