or lack of self-restraint... just sayin'..... your pictures are great; i was too chicken s&^t to venture downtown while all this madness was going on; i may have become violent myself; then again, i go to my job every day, no time for camping, heh.
I was waiting for a bus near by, and my camera finger got itchy - no-one accosted me, or approached me, it wasn't intimidating like some of the others around the world, or I might have bravely run away too :)
