Look most people are kind. I'll chitchat for a moment... but yeah- if I could avoid gawkers... I mean FWIW much of my work is about people living on the fringe, on the road, or end of society. I spent years touring just living with people like that. You become one of them and "gawkers" are just that.

Im being reminded there was a name for this, Gonzo Journalism. But I see why in todays world people would confuse it with voyeurism.
