Walking down the 16 th Street mall, I saw a crowd and thought, "What compels people to go to Hard Rock Cafe in every city they visit?"

Then I saw a camera taping an interview with the guy in Picture No. 1. Once I missed a Muhammad Ali photo op in a Las Vegas casino because I figured people were crowding around a jackpot winner. So, what the heck, this time I took a picture like everybody else.

I recognized the guy behind Picture No. 2, but I cheated: He was signing his book at the convention center.
