THE MEAN OLD LADY THAT YELLED AT ME!

Baltimore, Maryland

This old lady thought I was taking her picture (I wasn't) and started yelling at me that it was illegal to take pictures of people on the street, which it is NOT! Anyway, I was taking a shot of a building behind her and because she yelled at me I decided to go ahead and shoot her!!! Of course, I waited til she was turning to walk away. I didn't want her yelling at me anymore. I don't like to be yelled at! What a mean, old lady! She wouldn't even listen to me. :(

I don't like pinging but I took this photo for the exact same reason.

I know what you mean. There is something of a controversy over taking candids--should one ask permission first or not? If one asks it's no longer a candid as people will inevitably pose--they can't help it. (Nor can I.) Also, if one doesn't want their picture taken they shouldn't go out in public--these days one's picture is always being taken by a security camera somewhere, whether in a parking lot at the store, the gas station, bank, etc...

She cooled down when her chicken wings were ready.

maybe the hair was a one of a kind and she thought you were selling her patented hair ???

I can't imagine you get yelled at too much. You are way too nice to yell at. Nice to get a little payback though.

LOL "Don King's Wife". Ouch...I'd hate it if that ever happened to me, especially so innocently. You Go girl...good job on the 'Back At Ya' part.:)

Hey, isn't that Don King's wife? How could anyone yell at Texas Cindi? Maybe it was that big telephoto you were sporting that scared her. :o)
