It certainly sounds more fun than being a fly on the wall. So I'm going to back off a bit before I argue myself into an indefensible position. My fall back position to safe ground will be the following undisputable facts. "The goal of the photographer is to create a picture not to simply record a scene" .... "Just because the M6 is a silent machine is no reason for the photographer to act like one." Where's Francesco in this discussion? I doubt whether a fly on the wall set of candids would help him much. He must positively intrude even if its just to tell the girl to get her gear off. Alan Hull
