A couple years before the big kaboom!
The boy was just sitting there enjoying the view and the warm sun when I walked up.
A few shots, he turned and saw me, I smiled and waved, and left.
Thanks, Douglas.
Yep. Got caught. The THWAP of the mirror on my old film SLR would get the attention of a jackhammer operator wearing hearing protection at 100 yards in Manhattan at rush hour on a Friday afternoon.
I was lucky to get more than one shot at this quiet lake before being discovered.
The boy's parents knew I was taking some pics- but he didn't.
