On Saturday afternoon , I was on the R train going from Brooklyn to Union Square.  In the subway car I was in, I noticed a trio of young Spanish tourists.  One of them was taking photographs of New Yorkers in the car.  I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but he was taking pictures in a way that was very annoying to not just myself, but everyone else in the subway car.  Finally, a kid came over from one end of the car and stood across the tourist photographer.  He then took out his camera phone and began taking photos of the tourist who sat pretending to be unaware.  I then tried to take out my camera to take a picture of the local kid taking a photo of the tourist photographer--sort of like a Western gun standoff, except instead of a gun, we have cameras.  Alas, I couldn't get my camera out in time.
