I find that a lot of people shy away from my camera; however, as I was waiting to cross the street, this traffic assistant continued to stare at it. Initially, being the paranoid woman that I am, I thought I’d done something wrong, that I should not be taking pictures in public.
Then I asked him (words & pointing) if he wanted me to take his picture. He gave a big grin and nodded yes. As I focused the lens on him, he took on this official pose. Cool guy!
Crossing Guard
You can see the police man is a bit shy but also proud to have his photo taken
Absolutely! You read his expression perfectly.
Nice pose 😀
I thought so too. He is the only person who has asked for a picture.
Traffic assistant is written in English. Who would have thought that?
I did not write the part about moderation…how did that get there
I have no idea, Ann .. hmmm
Ann! Thank you for checking out my blog. This really makes me feel good.
Nice!
Thank you!

I just sent you an email with contact info ~Mona
So are you home yet? You ran into my son and his wife, right? It’s such a small town feel. 🙂
Oh of course I ran into your son & his wife. 🙂
I will be in Shanghai until Friday morning and then we take the train into the Shandong Province for a month at our job. End of July return to Arizona to start back teaching my freshmen.
Be safe!
Little did he know you’d also share his photo as part of your adventures!
Hey Mona.. Hope you are having a blast and stay safe..
