'Why do we have to fight all the time?'
48th Street and 10th Avenue, Hell's Kitchen, New York; October 2007
The conversation went like this:
He: "Why do we have to fight all the time?"
She: " 'Cause I'm always catchin' you in bullshit! You gonna make me go down the list?"
Me (in my head as I walked away): "Buddy, you do *not* want her going down that list."
As I walked past this scene of domestic intranquility, there was no way I could stop and shoot a photo the usual way. I was much too conspicuous.
So I trusted to an educated guess. After I got a couple of feet past them, I held my camera at my thigh, pointed it backward, stopped walking for about a half-second, and pushed the button.
This, cropped from a vertical, is the result.
