Don't worry, Stevil didn't mess with the bouncer at Lolita on Dartmouth Street in the Back Bay.

I sometimes run photos that have absolutely no news value whatsoever but which I think show an interesting mood or composition. Like this one.

of old Boston rather well.

I'm surprised bouncers haven't gone the way of town criers but then I don't get out much.

Why would you need security at a place where people are drinking? And where you can be cited if trouble breaks out? Yeah that's a real mystery, Chris.

..that occupies my mind or time, there anon (not verified).

Say, are you from the Baltimore anon (not verified)'s?.

I don't know much about the current status of anyone in any sports either, if it's any help.

And when I was the booking dolt at the Middle East in 90/91 that stuff was handled by three remarkable young women who called themselves the Dough Heads.

They were small but fierce. Kathy used to date Pete in Last Stand and some guy called Cheetah Chrome, Jessica grew up in Archdale and was a beloved bar maid and Rebecca had a brother in the Mighty Bosstones.

The philosophy at the Middle then was that hired tough guys potentially created as many problems as they solved.

And a fierce but restrained woman can often be more intimidating when backed up by the full weight of the venue.

I appreciate this photo selection... there's something noir about the mood.

If the guy wasn't doing anything newsworthy, I hope he didn't mind being photographed and having his photo posted.

There is no expectation of not being photographed. Get used to it.

Whose expectation are you talking about?

Or do you mean some legal precedent, rather than some universal expectation or enlightened social convention?

Are supposed to reflect common, shared, expectations and social conventions.

In the case of photography, I think the law does a pretty good job.

..entails a permission element, however informal.

Particularly if the photographer may enjoy outsized benefits.

I don't imagine that is much of an issue here.

I try to tread lightly around my fellow monkeys in these situations unless it's some asshole caught in the act of being one. https://flic.kr/p/nHeFBw

The great thing about digital gear is you can always show the subject what you did then and there.

But I have too much fun covering the rest of the sentient world.

Monkeyless stuff often has a contemplative quality I like to try and express.

Except on the T, upskirt-style.

Swirls , didn't know who they were, but found their "Wait " song. I like the S & G versions where there is multo grade instrumentation , especially their " Bridge " song.
