A nice lady with a dog: Why are you taking a picture of the side of a bus?
Me: Well, umm, I take these pictures of stripes and things...
Nice lady: Why?
Me: I scan them and put them on a website. Lots of people seem to like them.
Nice lady: They do?

A famous photographer mentoring a workshop in Tuscany: Does anyone have some photos they'd like to discuss?
Me: I have a few.
Famous photographer: Let's take a look...
Me: I think this one is my favorite from the trip so far.
Famous photographer: I see. What is it?
Me: It's the side of a van I spotted in Orvieto.
Famous photographer: It's...interesting. Do you have anything else?
Me: Well I like this one a lot too. It is a sign on the side of the road that was near the abandoned building everyone else was photographing. I was pretty pleased that I got the tip of the arrow to exactly touch the edge of the frame.
Famous photographer: Yes, it is quite symmetric. Did you shoot any of the abandoned building?
Me: No. But I got a good one of the side of our bus! Hold on, let me find it...

Nice policeman: What are you doing?
Me: Oh, hi! I'm just taking a picture of this sign.
Nice policeman: You can't stand on a ladder on the side of a highway.
Me: Really? This will just take a second.
Nice policeman: No.
Me: But I...
Nice policeman: No.
Me: I...
Nice policeman: Now.
