I was out at Costco today doing the usual thing we do and I was approached by a Nassau County police officer in a marked RMP. He parked right next to my car and stepped out immediately. I got a little nervous and put on my best NYCA face... he immediately began to inquire about the lens (200-400mm f/4) and spent the next 30 minutes drilling me about photography LOL. What's the best camera? Canon or Nikon? What lenses should he get? etc.
I had a really nice chat with the officer and in the end I had three other folks who came over to see what the deal was ... one was a Costco employee (super nice guy) and the other two just photography buffs asking about gear and such.
Whenever a plane went past and I totally ignored them while I took pictures, they would ask me the inevitable question: Why are you taking pictures of planes? And I would answer, totally for fun and hobby... lots of shrugs. Oh yea, one woman stopped in her minivan, all smiles asking: "What Magazine do you shoot for?" when I answered "none, just for fun" she got serious and sped off... too funny!
