What an odd feeling to be on the other side of the camera, to be the abnormal and fascinating creature who is worthy of sharing with family and friends. Its never someone by himself, and they are almost always younger than 30, but it starts with "Americana, Americana", a hurried search for the cell phone, clearing the camera lens from the numerous cell phone bangles, a discussion with friends about who will take the picture first and then pscchhht, the fake click sound of the cell phone camera. I don't know how many people I have photographed without their consent, but I'm sure it is a fair amount, so I guess it is only just that I am on the receiving end for a change of pace.
