Las Vegas Rubbernecks
Tourists in Las Vegas, Nevada, April 1991. They had stopped to watch a man get arrested for beating his girlfriend in downtown. I push through the crowd. A young woman is sitting on the ground, her back against a casino. Hard-faced cops surround her. I spin around and make this photograph of the crowd.
