re: #434 avanti

The most interesting part to me is how the Bush volleyball thread was basically “go George” , not as much when a BHO did it.
I’ll admit, I’ve been caught looking without even knowing I was doing it.

Good point. I’ve also been puzzled lately when public figures (not just BHO) are said to be “glaring,” “staring,” or “ogling” in a still photograph. All these actions, by definition, require a duration of at least a second or two, don’t they? (At least, I’ve argued that to my wife before.)

With outdoor photos often using shutter speeds of 1/000 second or faster, how do you know where a person’s eyes were focusing 1/000 second before or after the one shot? Wouldn’t it take a video to tell a glance from an ogle?

I have the self-control not to glare, stare, or ogle inappropriately in public. But I glance at everything in my field of view. Everything. Young, elderly, animal, vegetable, mineral. With a still camera pointed at you, all it takes is a glance and you’re sunk. Trust me on this.

Let he/she who is without glance cast the first stone.
