A: Do you know?

Las Vegas, NV.
My wife, Brenda, and I visited Las Vegas last month. It was her second time and my first in Sin City. I found walking The Strip to be a street photographer's dream come true. Everywhere I looked there seemed to be something worth photographing.
I'm a host of the Street Photography and Photojournalism group on RedBubble and we recently ran a challenge:
A Black and White capture of “The decisive moment.”
"That moment that captures the essence of an event in Black and White.
The Challenge
Capture that fleeting moment that tells the story, a moment that if not recorded will be gone forever.
An event that is gone as quickly as it arrived.
The winning photograph will capture the essence of the event in a single B/W photo.
Henri Cartier Bresson coined the term decisive moment, this journal gives us a basic understanding of it."
The challenge got me to looking through my photos for any that might fit and when JPG ran this photo challenge I thought this might make a good entry.

LOL!! This reminds me of the time I took my kids to the air show. My oldest had just been in a horrible bicycle wreck and had to walk slowly and was pretty miserable so I let him hold the camera. (I was an instant camera person back then) When I got the film developed, he had taken the entire roll up of midgets that had been walking around at the airfield. I laughed so hard all over the drug store. Great shot John.
