Incident at World's Fair Marina
I headed out to the World's Fair marina with my dad for some 31 arrivals. It was a nice but cloudy day to get some shots. I was getting some nice banking from the aircraft and I was enjoying myself. I was at first approached by the director of the marina and asked me politely about what I was doing and we had a nice chat. He later came along a second time and he was friendly. Another guy came along and asked what camera I had and lens and the friendly person went on his way. When I finished shooting, me and my dad headed down the boardwalk to our car. Halfway there, an overweight fellow followed us and asked about what I was doing. He asked us what is the deal with the camera and scanner? I could tell he was distressed when he used the f word a couple of times. My dad started to get a little angry and told him that there were more photographers at JFK. Before an argument broke out, I calmed my dad down and told the fellow that I am an aviation entusiast and that it is my hobby for taking pictures of aircraft. I told him also that its his everyright to ask me what I was doing. I told I knew he would be distressed during these times after 9/11. We later left the marina and headed home.

So a fat guy chased you down the boardwalk? I resemble that remark.
Did he identify himself? If not, blow him off.
Re: Incident at World's Fair Marina
When were you there. I was there for 3 hours today on the boardwalk and never got spoken to.

There's a guy that frequents that area - occasionally in an army camoflage jacket or shirt. He calls the police and then asserts himself into the dialogue. He can never wrap it around his mind what we do.
