On the left side a drunken drunkard argues with Officer Lady for no clear reason. He was interfering with the film shoot and got ticketed for disorderly public something-or-another. Moments after I shot this the little man on the right (in the white tennies) came after me cursing and yelling. I’m not exactly sure what he thought I was doing or not doing by taking a photo in a public space and as part of the film crew, but he was HOT and I could not convince him that I was not part of any imagined sting operation for the government or for the police department. He wasn’t to be consoled and walked off chattering animatedly about knowing his rights and lawyers and some such.
