Conjecture bait.

So what if I'm a slow, 62-year-old woman who sees something very interesting across the busy street and instantly realizes I cannot get across the street in time to get the lowdown. I can get the camera on and up and snap this photo. I might not know what is on the flier he's handing out on SW Broadway, but I can conjecture, not only about the green hat guy wearing the red shoes but also about that huge inflatable monkey. Conjecture, as a verb? To arrive at or deduce by conjecture which means, as a noun, inference from defective or presumptive evidence or a conclusion deduced by surmise or guesswork. Ah.

Would you be willing to put your conjectures about the scene captured by the D50 and me in a comment? Gee, I hope so. I'll be back in the next few days to share mine.

  1. I'm a little bit scared by the guy with the flyers ... kind of like the inflatable monkey though! Great capture of a moment - though I'm not really sure what that moment was!

  2. Hmmmm.... Can't guess what's on the flyer, but that's not unusual for Broadway - guessing it could be advertisement for a night club perhaps. As for the girls and the monkey, well those girls to me look like students - they have backpacks and the one has a laptop case around her shoulder - along with the monkey. Students monkeying around I suppose! :)
