Maybe the cows where 'under age'?
Honestly, I NEVER had this. As most know I had a couple of very strange situations but that was with the 'law' itself but not with people threatening me.
Strange one that is. You still can press charges for threatening behavior but I am not sure how far you would get.
DON: not everyone is physically able to 'continue the discussion' and it sometimes is better to just move on.
all the more reason why those who can should.Maybe the cows where 'under age'?

You are walking around in public, doing nothing illegal, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE LEFT IN PEACE... but some people cannot or will not respect that. I would fight even if thought I would not likely win... the authorities will set him straight about attacking people...... and the experience will likely deter him from trying the same thing on the next person strolling by...

were you on his property?
two simple issues....
stay off his property, and don't sell or publish images of private property without a release. So it is always best to ask them nicely to sign the release when approached...
Lastly, you can place a person under citizens arrest (check your local statutes) and or lay charges if he threatened you, or acted threateningly towards you. You have rights. His rights to tell you what you can and cannot do, ended at the property line...
Me? I'd have either told him right off and/or invited him to step off his property onto the public road to continue the discussion.

I'd set my d-slr up on a tripod/copystand, and photograph each photo, then box up the originals for proper storage.
between my Pentax camera, Aperture and digital storage. Apertures faces feature works well BTW I got a huge archive from Gerri's dad for Christmas and it took Aperture 3 (Iphoto works just as well) one night to identify with great accuracy all the people in the photos. I clicked on Gerri (we won't mention how old she is) and Aperture successfully identified her in old yellowed photos right down to when she was four years old. Only a couple instances where it identified her (more recent photos) as her Mother... Picked my boy out from 6 months to six years, no mistakes.
A couple archival photo albums...
a few binders with archival neg sleeves...
some cardboard boxes...
you'll have it sorted properly over a weekend.

is there actually a battery grip for the kr?
I will let you guys in on a secret...
the best way to built a power supply for your camera...
start with one of these:
brand not important... but if you need weather proof light and emergency power, why carry more than you need to????
for a video d-slr user, that is just brilliant!

good descision..
I used to say a fast fifty was a nobrainer....
now I believe the bargain 35 is something anybody with a Pentax digital should have. (unless you already got a ltd or macro in that 35 mm range.).

I scrounged up some scraps and household items and built my own rocket.
Going with liquid fuels for a first try was, how shall I put it? Ambitious.
I blew a hole big enough to bury a coffee table in, in Gramma's back yard.
That afternoon, my friends dad came over. He handed me a baseball sized rock (that had landed on his shop roof in his yard).... "This belongs to you I presume?" then he handed me a brand new Estes Rocket kit, Just like the one he gave his own son... "Play with this, it's safer."
Me and my friend, his son later that day got in trouble for damaging a parked car with a toy "Rocket car", sadly the frog piloting the car did not survive.
Live and learn... (if you live) I always say.
Sounds like your lucky to be here to still tell the tale! Don wrote:

I have to say it would be nice to have you about as a body guard at some times.
It is not the size of the dog in the fight, that predicts the outcome, it's the size of the fight that is in the dog....
