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).

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.

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