"Did You Just Take A Picture Of Me?"

Sometimes you can't wait to ask someone if it is okay to photograph them.  If you wait the moment is gone, subjects change when they become camera aware.. sometimes it is for the better, and sometimes for the worse.  As this man became aware, I took the photograph with a loud clack of the shutter in the silent bookstore which only emphasized his puzzledness.  He asked, "Did you just take my picture?" to which I replied, "Yes..."  "Am I going to be famous?" he questioned.  As I walked away I laughed, "No."
