Street photography and bottoms

What that guy was doing was obviously wrong. He was following these women around with a concealed camera.

And my contribution.

I was driving around Phoenix with a friend snapping happily, and he told me to take a picture of something interesting, like girls.
 
Looking at bottoms is a national sport and daily activity in Brazil - men look at women's bottoms and women at men's - and both seem to like it.

Never bothered me nor anyone I know here. We're talking about looking, touching is an altogether other chapter, as might be taking pictures. It wouldn't be wise to take pics of bottoms with jealous boy- or girlfriends around ...
 
Some of the greatest stuff comes from Italy. Several years ago, Rome police arrested an elderly gentleman who was gathering up coins from the Trevi Fountain. He used a flat-bladed shovel and a bucket with drain holes. It turned out that he had been doing this for almost two decades, and no one noticed.
 
Photographs of more than three thousand women's bottoms, in fact: link below. Here's one for the absolutists: should we support his right to do this? I suspect not.

I think this is where Voltaire would surely say that while he disagrees with "photographs of more than three thousand women's bottoms", he'd surely fight for his right to do it.

There are many things that annoy us, or simply offend our senses, but they're not necessarily in need of legal punishment.

For example: who loves that crying baby right next to you in that intercontinental flight? Or at the restaurant. Should the baby be arrested? The parents?
 
Hmmmm....

Talk about thread drift (or possibly thread wobble...)!

Not a holiday: research for a new web site and a significant update on www.mctie.com with more illustrations (soon to be all-free -- don't pay for anything!). Over 3000 miles in under 400 hours on the BMW.

Cheers,

Dear Richard,

Well, enjoyable work, anyway.

Though with 3045 miles in 16 days, actually, my bum is a bit sore!

Cheers

(and thanks for the welcome back)
