David Alan Harvey Workshop, entry 13; Times Square, p2: No, Sir, I did not take a picture of Priscilla's butt!!!

Sometimes, I happen upon a scene and I do not see a picture immediately, but I see the potential for a picture. I think a picture is likely to happen soon, so I prepare myself. So it was when I found Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. She was standing there, her back to me, striking a pose, nothing happening. I framed the scene in my camera, so I would be ready when something did happen.
I fired off one frame that I knew would be worthless, because that is the kind of thing I do. Immediately, the good fellow to the left stepped into the frame and said to Priscilla:
"The guy behind you just took a picture of your butt!"
I reacted quickly and shot this image before the lie had totally left his mouth, so that I could document it.
;)
Priscilla turned to look behind her and see who it was that had just taken a picture of her butt - but I had taken no such picture! Yet, in such a situation, one cannot explain such a thing, as to do so would be awkward indeed and would only make matters worse.
So, I just continued to shoot pictures as the man grinned his smug and warped grin as he continued to walk on by.
;)
Priscilla was cool and collected, unphased by it all. She continued to perform. She struck a new pose. My false accuser walked smugly out of the frame, feeling very pleased with himself.
;)
The little girl was most entranced.

Priscilla looks like a pleasant young woman...very pretty too, not much of a butt though ;)
O/T watching a show on Discovery called "Flying Wild Alaska"..i'm thinking of you and some of the things you write about (http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/flying-wild-alaska/)
Twain - true, but still she was very pretty from the tip of her toe to the hair atop her head and everything in between.
fantastic - even the billboards seem to cooperate here! Wonderful moment, Bill. The little girl's expression is priceless!
Zun - I asked the billboards to cooperate and the did. I'm just hoping against hope that somehow, this finds the gentlemen who triggered the sequence.
