Although a thought provoking statement it is my way of getting around to a thumbs up reference to a member of the N.Y.C. police force. I always state that a photographer in search of that one terrific image is only going to capture that image if they carry a camera with them at all times. I claim to do just that as well.
About a week ago while walking on Canal Street in lower Manhattan, I watched as a NYC police cruiser stopped, the officer stepped out of the car and held up traffic in all directions. I did not immediately notice the poor lady walking with only a fabric head cover. It seems that the ladies wig blew off of her head and was rolling across the street and under the police car. The police officer kindly reached under the car and grabbed the wig in order to return it to its rightful owner. The officer returned t0 his car, the woman quickly replanted the hair on her head and the traffic commenced.
A kind gesture of humanity by one of NYC’s finest. Thumbs up to the officer and another great reminder to all of us to carry a camera.
