Yeah, but I wonder if this is going to end up as a sleazy photographer story.

It probably will. Anyone with bad intentions who owns a camera automatically reflects on the profession these days. Anyone can buy a camera, but owning one makes you just as much a photographer as buying a surgical mask makes you a doctor. It's kind of sad to see these people bring down a profession they have as much to do with as some Madden 2006 junkie has to do with the NFL. Though this sounds like common sense, most people automatically blame the entire profession on the behavior of a handful. These guys are not photographers. They own a camera. There's a difference. I bought some paint at an art store today. Does that make me Van Gogh?

Can you post the photos??
