John (his name) the pimp: "Hey, Phil, who is yo lady friend!"
Me "Joan"
John "Nice looking lady. Too good fo you!"
Me "Later"
Joan""Who was that!!!!"

Never went out with me again.
Way back in the 1970s.........

Long before digital cameras. I was a photo geek, and used a lot of Tri-X (ASA 400) and push processed it to 32,000 with a developer called Rodinal as my foggy memory recalls. Anyway the local cops had seem some of my work at a Jr. High football game and wanted some help.
I loaded up some of their film, and my camera and they drove me to every place the hookers hung out, and we shot photos. I was teaching them about exposure, and they were teaching me were all the dive bars and hookers were.
The hookers that were so ugly I can't imagine why any male would every pay for sex.
The next day I showed them how to print the photos and helped the police department vice squad do a better job. I made some cop friends and I was a high school kid.
