Nice shot. You caught an interesting moment.

Seeing these pics from the SF outing has led me to a thought. I believe it's 
easier to take pictures of people in public places when you're accompanied by 
at least one other photographer. To oversimplify and exaggerate: Being part of 
a group taking photos means you're on a photo outing or you're doing this for 
some particular reason, therefore you're not just a pervert:-). Seriously, at 
least as part of a group you have the psychological support of others being 
intrusive right along with you. Perhaps it wouldn't work that way for everyone. 
But I find that it works that way for me.
