Breaking All the Rules

I saw this while walking around New Orleans. I stopped and asked him if I could take his picture. He asked why and I told him he was leaning against a No Smoking and No Loitering sign while loitering and smoking. He said he didn't realize it (or sadly probably could not read).

this is a good angle - got any with a straight on stare though?

There wasn't enough room to take from straight on or even if I swapped lenses, I didn't want my reflection in the window.

What a great catch. I love it. Nicely spotted.

Nice shot. I wasn't there but maybe you could have squatted or sat down in front of him to avoid your reflection.
