Sometimes people just don't like being photographed. I understand that. I don't like it but I understand. This photo was taken during the grilled cheese festival that happened a couple of months ago. My friend had asked me to document his entry into the competition by taking photos of him while cooking and crowd shots of the event. I had finished doing one of my sessions of shooting my friend so I decided to take a couple of crowd/people photos and there was this guy who had just picked up a sample of my friend's sandwich and I thought I'd get a photo of him doing his judging thing. So as soon as he was writing down his verdict, I pulled the camera to my eye and I'm focusing the lens but no sooner as I had the eyepiece on my eye, no joke, he stopped dead in his writing tracks and SLOWLY raised his head and his eyes and looked dead center of the lens and gave me this look of disgust and disbelief. The look he gave me seriously scared the shit out of me and made me feel uncomfortable like I did something horrible. I probably did. Oh well. I snapped the photo and got the shot. Not the shot I was looking for or expected, but this was a memorable moment.
