I went to the Dallas World Aquarium (which is amazingly cool, btw) with my daughter-in-law, Amber a couple of weeks ago.
Amber at the Aquarium
Amber got to witness my Ninja-like stealth photography moves first hand.
Amber will likely never go anywhere with me again.
The point is that I saw some very cute redheads during my trip and I took the opportunity to use my Stealth Ginger Ninja method of discreetly taking photos of people. Sometimes it works, and sometimes you get busted. (More on that in a minute)

I realize this is blurry, but I love the total gingery-ness of it
Since I have a non-discreet camera the size of a Chrysler stuck to my face, I pretend to be casually aiming at something interesting very near the subject. Then, when the opportunity arises, I quickly move the camera over, take the shot and move it right back up to the interesting thing very near the subject.

This is the crucial moment where I realize that I’ve not yet reached the true rank of Ninja and get the scary “Did you just take a picture of my child??!!” look from the protective POG. (And where a daughter-in- law saunters away pretending to be a passerby.)
About 2 seconds before I got “the look.”
At this point I have my business card and my “elevator pitch” ready.
I wonder if real Ninjas carry business cards for “off” days?
