Napping in the Colosseum


Boy climbing up a wall in the Colosseum.

No, no, no ...no, I didn't wait at all (that would be stalking, no?). I happened to see her as I was walking down the laneway - it's in Rome.
It isn't too uncommon to spot people looking out windows in Rome.

Here's a candid snapped in a lovely ornately carved marble Jain temple

Sarkosy... not so much.

Gee the video cleared Obama . Definitely not Sarkosy.
Good one there. Luckily there was video around

Daniel

I dunno, even in the Video it looked like Obama was taking a look. He was just a little more subtle about it than the picture implies.

Sarko on the other hand was a whole lot less subtle.

In the video, doesn't look anything like Obama looking. The girl he is offering assistance to starts to block his view and his angle never changes. Its one thing to subtly look, its another to look and let someone walk out of your filed of view ... which subconciously is a challenge.

I helped a friend organize data collected from a project for road distractions 3 years ago for metro police. What was found was once a person fixates on a distraction it is unnatural for the body to not follow what has caught the eye. The study was aimed towards recommending removing signs along certain points of the Gardener.

He's French, it's normal well, actually Hungarian, but who cares, I'd do the same thing

Yup... definitely the Hungarian ancestry showing for Sarko in that pic.

Nice ass.

you noticed that too?

If I were that young lady, I will get the original image and post it in my living room

hahahaha, gooood one

Ask for free or offer to pay the photographer for his/her professional hard work?

Notwithstanding the letter of the law (US or Canada), the subject can and should ask for reprint of the image for self use like posting at her home.

Jerusalem (2007) showing unobstrusive security ready to spring into action if some tourists turn out to be not doing sightseeing




They certainly would not to want to be photographed. Gates are everywhere and going to a supermarket requires passing through metal detectors - something that inner city school in the US has been doing for ages

I shot this one on the way back from the mall....no, sorry - this was taken in Varanasi, India

Love this one. If a model is brought in or even better a nude .........

That would have landed me in jail. When in public spaces women in Yemen, much like in Saudi Arabia, are covered from head to toe, except for a tiny slip in front of their eyes. Unlike in Saudi Arabia, Yemeni women are allowed to drive a car but only in traditional clothing - a fact that contributes to the high traffic fatality rate.
Anything so audacious as using scantily clad women would be an affront to Yemeni values ...this would be BOTH immoral and illegal.

Someone tried this in the Great Mosque in Djenne, Mali:

Because of that, all non-Muslims, are now barred entry. Shame...sadly I didn't hear about the ban until I'd travelled half way to Timbuktu (literally) to find out.
