I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.

+Davor Maksimović I should have taken a picture of the long line of taxi's… It was a long and loud night being docked right next to the night club, so I finally just went out and took some pictures.
+Paul Pavlinovich She had just fallen down, not able to walk straight. I don't think she would pass a field sobriety test — thus all of the taxi's picking the customers up. The guy in the pink shirt fell down a few seconds later, then the woman with the white blouse in the center fell down. It was like domino's.
+Paul Pavlinovich I didn't see the phone earlier. Maybe she was taking a picture of me taking a picture of them… That night the students were not allowed off the ship, the next night the academic administration on the ship were very concerned when the students would be allowed off the ship. The female students were allowed into the Lux for free, the male students were told that it would cost 240 euros and most refused. The next morning I only saw one of the students stagger back to the ship at 6 AM.
+David Mathre typical way of night clubs making money – let the girls in free and charge the boys to see the girls they already know who are now somehow more attractive simply because there is a barrier that didn't exist before
Fantastic !

So in some weird way he's either trying to pick her up or roll her over. Funnily she's still using her phone :).
