We have all have those moments.  We spot something and the thought that pops into our head is “What were they thinking?”.  As a photographer, I have the distinct privilege of being able to catch these moments for all to see.  The back story to this “What were they thinking?” moment begins on Fremont Street .

While scouting out photo opportunities with the Sin City Life resident advice columnist and editor, Heddie, we were sought out by Mr. Cowboy Hat to take a picture of him with Ms. Yes They’re Real (as stated on her shirt).  Las Vegas is notorious for these photography request incidents, as everyone wants their 15 minutes.  I oblige these requests, take the photos, follow with the ever-cool thumbs up and end up dropping most of the images into the trash once they have been downloaded to my MacBook.

Mr. Cowboy Hat informed my coworker and I that Ms. Yes They’re Real had just flashed him for one of the dollars he had managed to avoid sliding into a slot machine.  Seeing my camera equipment, Ms. Yes They’re Real became somewhat shy.  Using the same type of behavior usually reserved for attempting to get flirtation time with toothless waitresses in small town dive bars, Mr. Cowboy Hat upped the ante to a whopping three Washington ’s.

Not wanting to lose the nice dinner Heddie and I had just consumed at Hennessey, we did not stay for the conclusion, but capturing the bartering was more than enough for us.  I can only hope that everyone got what they wanted and that few people were subjected to the inevitable resuming of flashing that was bound to ensue once the camera was no longer on them.

Here is the link to the rest of the pics from that night.
