Eye Patch

Thought I'd post this self portrait of a sorts as I had one of those odd moments that one has when one takes a camera into public space.

I was taking pictures of mannequins in a chain store window on Yonge Street. A young woman came out and said, "What do you think you're doing? They don't like it." I explained I was taking pictures of the mannequins and asked who "they" are, She then wondered about what I knew about the store -- I said I knew nothing about it. "It's not allowed, they don't like it," by which she meant my taking photos. I suggested that while I was going to be polite about it, "they" could not stop me from taking the photos.

I never did find out who "they" are.

If the creepiness of this shot is any indication, maybe that's why photographers frighten so many people.
