After I fueled up on the buffet at the Drew Carey fundraiser to benefit the Myernick fund, I wandered around taking lots of pictures. I got a few looks - I think mostly because the pro photogs have much bigger cameras than I do, but most everyone was accommodating and pleasant. Then I spotted Abby Wambach talking to Peter Nowak and snapped a pic of the two of them.
As I walked away, Peter called me back. "Hey you! What you take that picture for?"
Trying to make a joke of it, I told him I was really photographing Abby, mainly. He asked to see the shot, then told me to crop him out of it. I'm not sure whether he was kidding, so I actually did. Just imagine him there next to her, slightly shorter.

What a punk.
It really could be his background. Many friends from post Soviet/Communist countries get weirdly freaked out by pictures by strangers.
I don't know him or anything but that is the first thing that popped in my head. I wouldn't take it personally.
Better to be careful, or Piotr might "send you to hospital..." ;-)
I'm sure he was just joking. Don't take it personally.
he sounds like a anal retentive,type-A personality, control-freak!!! perfect for coaching!!! ;)
