A confrontation yesterday…

Dude: no pictures! No pictures! (I was not taking pictures)

Me: I am not photographing you

Dude: Now I explain you…I am in charge to beat anyone not paying attention to me…I am of the mafia

Me: oh, fine…I am Italian, I am the real mafia

Dude: oh, ok…you can photograph buildings, sky…

Me:…people…

Dude: not the business here

Me: I am not interested to photograph your business…

Dude: uhm…ok…don’t take pictures of me

Me: I am not interested at all to photograph you

Dude shows me the fist to salute me. I beat my fist with his fist. End of confrontation.
