Well! I guess he was looking over his shoulder to try and see what the photographer  was or perhaps I am way off the mark

Brilliant!
Taking pictures will never be the same from now on...

I sure do hope it improves things over there. France is now pretty much a no-mans-land for photographers.

At least once a year, the magazine Réponses Photo has a series of articles on the subject. Saying it's become a nightmare is pretty much an understatement.

It definitely will be interesting to see where things go with their campaign...

Great........now I have to look over my shoulder whenever I put the dark cloth over my head.

So, there you are taking lanscape shots in the Arctic, risking life and limb facing down Polar Bears, angry Innuits and the possibility of disappearing through a crack in the ice.........and some pervy French bloke sneaks up behind you...... Well, it's just not good enough, is it? I mean, I can't see that happening down Kensington High Street and we're all meant to be "European" now, aren't we....?
