I would have to guess that you being a woman would have better luck taking pictures of someone else's children without being harassed than I would. I'm not even sure I would make the attempt anymore. -- Bruce ======= Yes, like I said, it would have been fun to try taking a shot of him coming down. Well, yes, usually re being a woman. But the kid was aware of me, his parents were at the top of the dune and I didn't feel free to grab more than this quick shot. I suppose I could have gone and talked to them, but I couldn't figure out how to hike up the dune. :-) And other shots were begging. So, yes, women are viewed with less suspicion, but all people with cameras re kids are viewed with some suspicion. Makes parents uncomfortable. I notice them noticing me when I do it, anyway. And not necessarily noticing me happily. Heck, these days I am uncomfortable telling parents I am standing next to in stores that their kid is cute. That sort of thing seems much, much less acceptable before. Woman have snatched kids, after all. But he did look like he was having fun.
