This pair of highland cattle were just too good to pass up, especially the one doing an impression of someone out of ZZ Top! It's safe to say however that this was a "cow" to process :-)
per Wiki: An amuse-bouche or amuse-gueule (UK: /əˌmuːzˈɡɜːl/, US: /-ˈɡʌl/; French: [a.myz.ɡœl]) is a single, bite-sized hors d'œuvre. Amuse-bouches are different from appetizers in that they are not ordered from a menu by patrons but are served free and according to the chef's selection alone. ; )

You can point your camera at just about anyone in NYC and not get a second glance. But in Chinatown, things are different. This man was NOT amused.
One of my contacts suggested that if I'd asked for a photo, he probably wouldn't have minded. That might be true. I do know that I have felt somewhat guilty about this one. He appears to be an unwilling subject to me....and of course he has a right to be annoyed. Beautiful Saturday. Nice spot on a nice bench Then some tourist comes in and invades his privacy. Frankly, I'd gotten too bold. (Imagine that!) The rest of NYC and Richmond, for that matter, seemed to either not mind me taking their photo, or actually press closer or smile wider. I have thought about this phenomenon and wondered if it it just a result of reality television. 15 seconds of fame? I don't know. I did feel guilty about this shot, but not so guilty that I didn't post it. I took one more photo in Chinatown, and that was by permission only.
****We passed through Little Italy first. Men in suits were sitting at a table on a sidewalk. One man had an ear bandage. I'm sorry. All I could think of was Mafia. I raised my camera to take a picture and one of the men made a motion toward me, so I put it back down. Clever of me, wasn't it?
I used to walk by this street very often, but since the new MRT line started last winter, I changed my daily route to another alley: www.flickr.com/photos/shangpc/albums/72157651625181588
That day I was in a hurry to go to a family lunch gathering, saw this scene on the way without my camera in hand. After the lunch, I went straight home, grabbed my camera, and returned to this location. Fortunately, nothing was changed.
The owner of the prosthetic leg was about ten meters away on a wheel chair, selling chewing gums. He asked if I were a reporter. He said he does not need report, nor help from the government or anyone. He just lost his leg a few months ago, things had been tough, but he thought as long as he can sell 40 gums a day, he can support himself no problem.
I thanked him for allow me to take pictures, wished him good luck and left, but didn't ask why he had to put the leg so far away from himself.
A few days later, I bumped into him again, this time I asked him why, and his answer was quite amusing. He said he is sick and tired of looking at the leg, that's why. But once he putted it further away, about triple the distance as it is now, a janitor came by and thought someone dumped it, then tried to carry it away, so he had to chase the janitor (on his wheel chair). Therefore it appears the way it is now: far enough, but not too far.
這張是我入圍2016年邁阿密街頭攝影比賽（MSPF 2016）決選的作品。
那天我正要去參加一個午餐聚會，半路上在我家附近看到這個景象，很想拍下來，但相機不在手上。吃完飯我直接回家，抓了相機再回到這裡，幸好一切都沒變。
義肢的主人，坐在離這裡大約十米的一個輪椅上，正在賣口香糖。他看到我手拿相機，問我是不是記者，他說他不需要報導，也不需要政府補助。幾個月前他才因為工作，失去了左腿，但最困難的時間已經過去。他算過了，只要一天能賣四十條口香糖，就可以自力更生，不需要別人幫助。
我表明自己不是記者，於是他同意讓我拍。拍完之後，我向他道謝，也祝他順利安康，但離開之後才想起，忘了問他為何要把那條義肢放那麼遠？
過兩天再看到他，義肢仍是同樣擺法，我又上前跟他聊了一下，這次沒忘了問他為什麼。他的回答很妙：他說因為剛截肢，不知為何，很討厭看到那條假腿，所以眼不見為淨。一開始他來這裡時，義肢擺得更遠，在這堵圍牆的另一端，離他大約有三十公尺。但有次來了一個清潔隊員，以為是誰不要的，要把它拿去丟，他只好飆著輪椅去追回來，所以現在才擺成眼前這個樣子：有點遠，但又不會太遠。
