I took this picture using my zoom lens while standing on the bridge over looking the CP Lake. You can clearly see the giant koi fish! http://www.flickr.com/photos/jillannsiegel/2522609361/

That's standard practice re waivers. I used to work for a wedding magazine, and even though there were similar signs at the venues and warnings in the actual wedding invitations (by attending you are agreeing that your image may be blah blah blah...) they still preferred to get specific waivers for anyone recognizable in a photo they ended up using.

#10 okay, i thought that you were talking about a *clear* complexion. Maybe the word "visible" would have been a better choice.

They should truck in some alligators for the summer just to make things interesting.

I called them and they said the animals were moved to other bodies of water in the park. So they were not killed.

"my face was so clear..." There were signs posted "by entering this area you are agreeing..." A woman later on came up to me and said that they could see me clear enough in the background that they felt they had to get me to sign a specific waiver. Who knows. At first I thought it was part of the show. Did they have to have me sign anything, couldn't tell you, but that's what happened.

Central Park has some very good fishing. I have fished there and I know people who have caught some nice size Largemouth Bass in the lake. Actually once when I was fishing they were filming some reality show and my face was so clear that they had me sign a waiver. They wouldn't tell me which show it was, I only remember there was a rowboat race in the lake. Let's hope that afterwards it will be an even better fishery.

Soon, we're going to find out that Betty White has been feeding them tourists to make them grow...

I remember sitting at the boathouse café, and seeing HUGE turtles and fish swim up to be fed. Made me think, damn, that's the good life, prime real estate, living by a fancy restaurant getting free food. Poor little guys, I hope they weren't harmed in the dredging process.

I want to know too. Did they let the koi go when they found them?

Apocryphal is the correct spelling. Not a hassle, just thought you'd like to know.
