It was hysterical! As situations like this often turn out to be after one has left the Metro. Loved the close-ups that gradually got bigger until the ghost was right in my face.

Saw a homeless lady with the dog, sitting on the stairs of a church on the other edge of a huge square. She was far away to be captured with 28 or 50mm lens so I screw my sniper shooter on the Nikon body with the length of 300mm and pointed at her. Guess what? She must have had an eagles sight because in the picture I made she kinda points her finger and shows smth like "no, don't shoot me". I guess I was 100 meters away but still she spotted me inbetween hundreds of other people in the crowdy square. Next time I'll camouflage :-) and get invisible. Will search up the image and post here a link to my flickr account... I was in an assignment in Barcelona.

I’m also starting to feel a bit bad about taking his photo. In hindsight it may have been a bit on the rude side :( ha! He is terrifying. I’m also starting to feel a bit bad about taking his photo.
