“Strangely enough not one person asked what the strange man was doing taking pictures of the preteen girls.”

Seriously, it was probably context....you were taking a pictures of a girl who knew you and there fore knew what you were doing and felt comfortable with that. You probably did get a few stares but then they probably figured it out after you said “okay Sue or Cindy(insert name), look over here and hold still a minute. You probably weren’t the only “strange man” or “strange woman” taking photos of their little heroes that day!

Here's a link to an article about it from Swimming World. Swimming World Magazine
