ARe you serious? And the rest of you who have stooped to this level and made this outrageous...... No Seriously you must be the guy!: Wow this guy screwed up. If he was right or wrong it doesn't matter anymore there is going to be some major backlash to his out right loss of control.
If she has done this...... Johnny: All of you ... got it all wrong. Leah is the guys girlfriend, shes pregnant and wants to give it up cause he has aids. They were fighting over two blocks ago when she finally...... Omri: To No_seriously: yeah, right. You expect to be believed? If that was true, why did the guy threaten the photographer?

I think it is important to retain a Zen like state while navigating the streets (as another person...... no, hool,: it isn't just that. all the poses and expressions seem stock and unnatural. it doesn't help that many of your older photos look this way, too.
