Photojournalism

You could say great features are simple ideas.  But I have to make simple pictures, unlike this one, below.  I was walking up M Street in Georgetown when I saw a police car and a NO STOPPING ANY TIME - TOW ZONE sign (upper right).  Then I saw a car pull in and park to clearly flaunt the first two items.  Later, I even saw the driver load bags in the trunk and then go off for more shopping.  I hoped to frame a ticket writing police closer to the sign.  After 20 minutes of watching the passing crowd, I began to wonder, “Where’s a cop when ya need one?”
