This category needs more content! I met this guy at the park today. He and his friend were practicing "slacklining" which is like tightrope walking but with lighter equipment and less tension.

That first one is really well done. Those people are nuts. I saw a guy doing that in Joshua Tree earlier this year. He was about 150 feet or so in the air, walking between two boulders.

I set up to photograph this building and I was about to go under the focusing cloth to check my composition when I noticed a man approaching from the town bar. He walked up to me and asked, "Do you have permission to photograph this building?" I pointed at the asphalt and replied, "I don't need permission to photograph this building, I'm not on private property, I'm on the edge of the road." The man shot back, "Well, do you have a permit to be on the road?"
I saw where the conversation was heading so I immediately offered my hand and we shook. I calmed him down and talked with him for a good fifteen minutes. He went on to tell me about himself; how he had been in many movies as an extra, and how he does odd jobs around town. I convinced him that my picture would be much more interesting with him in it, so he agreed to have his portrait made against the building. If we had stubbornly stuck to our guns, I might not have come away with any pictures from Randsburg that day.

I recognize him!

This is a closeup of the man that hassled me while I was preparing to photograph the Randsburg Photo Studio building (See above). He could hold a pose very well. As I took a meter reading near his face, he reminded me that he'd been photographed many times. "How would you like me to pose?" he asked. I said, "Just relax, and be yourself," and with that he gazed off into the distance and held his pose like a statue.
