At Super Bowl City in San Francisco. It should have been called "Selfie Bowl City" as many of the corporate booths were just selfie opportunities to take and email a photo.

1. Security was high here, both police and private security.

2. That did not prevent the sanctioned highway robbery that was occurring.

3. Associated Press photographer was equally well equipped.

4. He was looking for unique photo opportunities to take and email.

    I really like the lower angle that #4 is taken from. I also like #1 for the attention the two police in the foreground are giving to something ahead. Wondering though, if the third policeman has eyes on you.

    Nice set.

    #1: [singing] ...Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair...

    #4: Made me laugh out loud.

    Well, now that it's over, you can go back to normal high prices and protests. mwink.gif

    Could be... though his gaze looks slightly askance. They were really used to seeing cameras everywhere.

    Were you a Light My Fire kinda' guy instead Richard? :D

    That song - San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair) recorded by Scott McKenzie, and Incense and Peppermints by Strawberry Alarm Clock
    were in constant, multiple times an hour rotation on California AM radio in 1967... I can still hear them playing, over and over, in my head... no, wait - maybe just a flashback. :giggle

    You had it right. You left out the "Rice-a-Roni" jingle that came on between them.drums.gif

    Absolutely. Drugs, sex and rock 'n' roll seemed a lot more practical than peace, love and flowers naughty.gif.
