I was in Paris a couple years ago behind Notre Dame photographing
sunbathers with my M2 when I heard some say to me "Belle Leica". I
looked up and there was another photog with a battered M3. I returned
the compliment with a "votre ést très jolie" and we both went on our
ways trying to be invisible and participants in our environments.
