Man in NYC wearing US flag tie gestures to photographer, he said "sorry!" as he passed behind me after the image was made. It seemed to me that he was surprised by his reaction to the camera, I don't think he meant to be nasty. I was delighted by his spontaneity.

    I find this comical, yet iconic. It simply says, "Welcome to New York."
