One Of The Risks Of Appearing In Public...

.
Kiss Cam

...according to one of my photography heroes, Diane Arbus, is the likelihood of being photographed. They do this Kiss Cam thing on the scoreboard of Busch Stadium during every Cardinals game. TV cameramen roam the stands, looking for couples to ambush, throwing them up on the giant screen and pressuring them to have a smooch. The crowd thinks it's cute or funny. But what if you don't want to be put on display before the masses? What if you are sitting next to your sibling or your best friend's spouse? What if the person in the next seat is someone you shouldn't be out with, at least in someone's opinion?

Too bad. There is no privacy if you appear in public in this electronically-packaged age.
